    Why ground ivy is a problem in Cork

    On Cork properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. In Cork, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Lee and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Fitzgerald Park and The Marina, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Douglas and Blackrock, are where we most often find established stands.
