Why ground elder is a problem in Warrington
On Warrington properties, ground elder brittle white rhizome regrows from every fragment, so digging alone usually spreads it further through borders and hedge lines. Warrington's dense railway network, old chemical works and the Manchester Ship Canal have created disturbed corridors along the River Mersey where Japanese knotweed proliferates, especially near former wire-works and tannery sites.
