Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Yate
On Yate properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Yate's growth around its former railway junction and quarrying industry left disturbed embankments and spoil ground, which knotweed has exploited alongside the Frome Valley's damp lowland stretches.
