Why giant hogweed is a problem in Tralee
On Tralee 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 Tralee, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lee River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Tralee Bay and Blennerville Windmill, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Blennerville and Ardfert, are where we most often find established stands.
