Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Pontefract
On Pontefract properties, broad-leaved dock thick taproot survives cutting, each plant sheds thousands of long-lived seeds and grazing value drops sharply. Around the castle and the racecourse, Pontefract's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across West Yorkshire.
