Why giant hogweed is a problem in Armagh
On Armagh 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 Armagh, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Callan and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around The Mall and Navan Fort, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Richhill and Markethill, are where we most often find established stands.
