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