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