Why giant hogweed is a problem in Mallow
On Mallow properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. In Mallow, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Blackwater and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Mallow Castle and Nagle Mountains, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Buttevant and Doneraile, are where we most often find established stands.
