Why creeping thistle is a problem in Pontlliw
On Pontlliw properties, creeping thistle creeping roots spread laterally through pasture and lawns while wind-blown seed infests neighbouring land. Around the village centre and the Llan valley, Pontlliw's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across South Wales.
