Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Nailsea
On Nailsea properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Nailsea's former coal-mining and glassworks history left disturbed spoil heaps around the town, and the old railway line through nearby Backwell has provided a corridor for knotweed to spread.
