Why ground elder is a problem in Rushden
On Rushden properties, ground elder brittle white rhizome regrows from every fragment, so digging alone usually spreads it further through borders and hedge lines. Rushden's former boot and shoe factory sites have left considerable brownfield land colonised by knotweed, with further spread linked to the disused Rushden railway station embankments now part of a heritage trail.
