Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Huntingdon
On Huntingdon properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Huntingdon lies on the Great Ouse, whose water meadows and old wharf sites have supported knotweed for decades, with further spread along the disused railway embankment that once linked the town to St Ives.
