Why giant hogweed is a problem in Craigavon
On Craigavon 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 Craigavon, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Craigavon Lakes and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around River Bann and Oxford Island, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Portadown and Lurgan, are where we most often find established stands.
