Why floating pennywort is a problem in Witney
On Witney properties, floating pennywort grows up to twenty centimetres a day, choking ponds, ditches and slow water and blocking drainage and angling access. The River Windrush and the old blanket-mill sites that line it have given Witney persistent knotweed problems, with the plant also spreading along the former Witney railway branch line embankments now used as footpaths.
