Why ground ivy is a problem in Oxford
On Oxford properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Japanese knotweed thrives along the River Thames and River Cherwell floodplains and the disused canal towpaths that cross the city, with dense colonies also found on former railway sidings near Botley and industrial land around Osney Mead.
