Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Dún Laoghaire
On Dún Laoghaire properties, broad-leaved dock thick taproot survives cutting, each plant sheds thousands of long-lived seeds and grazing value drops sharply. In Dún Laoghaire, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Dublin Bay and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around East Pier and Killiney Hill, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Dalkey and Blackrock, are where we most often find established stands.
