Why field horsetail is a problem in Bray
On Bray properties, field horsetail deep rhizome network infests lawns, borders and paving, and it is toxic to horses on grazing land. In Bray, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Dargle and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Bray Head and Killruddery, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Greystones and Enniskerry, are where we most often find established stands.
