Why giant hogweed is a problem in Wolverhampton
On Wolverhampton 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. Wolverhampton's canal network and former iron and steel works left disturbed ground where knotweed has flourished, spreading along the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal towpaths into surrounding suburbs.
