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