Why floating pennywort is a problem in Blandford Forum
On Blandford Forum properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. Around the market place and the River Stour, Blandford Forum'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 Dorset.
