Why groundsel is a problem in Maynooth
On Maynooth properties, groundsel completes several generations a year, so a small patch becomes a season-long seed source across beds and gravel. In Maynooth, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Royal Canal and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Rye Water and Carton House, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Leixlip and Celbridge, are where we most often find established stands.
