    Why floating pennywort is a problem in Carlow

    On Carlow properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. In Carlow, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Barrow and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Carlow Castle and Brownshill Dolmen, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Tullow and Bagenalstown, are where we most often find established stands.
