Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Aylesbury
On Aylesbury properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Aylesbury's knotweed hotspots cluster along the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal and the River Thame, with disturbed ground from ongoing housing expansion around Berryfields also proving vulnerable to colonisation.
