Why groundsel is a problem in Midleton
On Midleton properties, groundsel completes several generations a year, so a small patch becomes a season-long seed source across beds and gravel. In Midleton, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Owenacurra River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Ballyannan Wood and East Cork coast, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Castlemartyr and Whitegate, are where we most often find established stands.
