Why ground elder is a problem in Shannon
On Shannon properties, ground elder brittle white rhizome regrows from every fragment, so digging alone usually spreads it further through borders and hedge lines. In Shannon, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Shannon Estuary and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Bunratty Castle and Shannon Airport, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Bunratty and Sixmilebridge, are where we most often find established stands.
