Why creeping thistle is a problem in Wallsend
On Wallsend properties, creeping thistle creeping roots spread laterally through pasture and lawns while wind-blown seed infests neighbouring land. Around the Roman fort and the high street, Wallsend'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 Tyne and Wear.
