Why field horsetail is a problem in Monaghan
On Monaghan properties, field horsetail deep rhizome network infests lawns, borders and paving, and it is toxic to horses on grazing land. In Monaghan, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Ulster Canal and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Rossmore Forest Park and Peter's Lake, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Clones and Emyvale, are where we most often find established stands.
