Why creeping thistle is a problem in Roscommon
On Roscommon properties, creeping thistle creeping roots spread laterally through pasture and lawns while wind-blown seed infests neighbouring land. In Roscommon, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Hind and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Roscommon Castle and Loughnaneane Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Athleague and Kilteevan, are where we most often find established stands.
