Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Glasgow
On Glasgow properties, broad-leaved dock thick taproot survives cutting, each plant sheds thousands of long-lived seeds and grazing value drops sharply. Glasgow sits in Glasgow City, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
