Why groundsel is a problem in Antrim
On Antrim properties, groundsel completes several generations a year, so a small patch becomes a season-long seed source across beds and gravel. In Antrim, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lough Neagh and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Sixmilewater and Antrim Castle Gardens, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Randalstown and Templepatrick, are where we most often find established stands.
