Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Bexhill
On Bexhill properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Bexhill's growth along former farmland and the Combe Valley wetlands to its north has left plenty of disturbed drainage ditches where knotweed readily spreads, compounded by old railway embankments serving the seafront line.
