Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Eastbourne
On Eastbourne properties, broad-leaved dock thick taproot survives cutting, each plant sheds thousands of long-lived seeds and grazing value drops sharply. Eastbourne's former railway sidings near the seafront and the Bourne Stream culvert running beneath the town have both been sites of persistent knotweed, with the plant also found along the Hampden Park lake margins.
