Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Camborne
On Camborne properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Camborne's tin mining heritage left extensive disturbed spoil tips and disused mineral railway lines, where knotweed has become entrenched around old engine houses and the South Crofty mine site.
