Why curly waterweed is a problem in Derry
On Derry properties, curly waterweed submerged growth fills ponds, canals and fishing lakes, crowding out native aquatic plants and snagging boats. In Derry, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Foyle and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Peace Bridge and City Walls, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Culmore and Eglinton, are where we most often find established stands.
