Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in March
On March properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. March's location beside the River Nene old course and its extensive former railway marshalling yards, once among the largest in the country, have left disturbed ground where knotweed continues to spread across the Fens.
