Why giant hogweed is a problem in Newry
On Newry 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 Newry, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Newry Canal and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Clanrye River and Slieve Gullion, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Warrenpoint and Bessbrook, are where we most often find established stands.
