Why ground elder is a problem in Uckfield
On Uckfield properties, ground elder brittle white rhizome regrows from every fragment, so digging alone usually spreads it further through borders and hedge lines. Uckfield lies on the River Uck, whose banks have long supported knotweed colonies, with further infestations spreading from former agricultural yards and the disused Uckfield railway sidings on the town's edge.
