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