Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Waterford
On Waterford properties, broad-leaved dock thick taproot survives cutting, each plant sheds thousands of long-lived seeds and grazing value drops sharply. In Waterford, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Suir and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Reginald's Tower and Waterford Greenway, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Tramore and Dunmore East, are where we most often find established stands.
