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