Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Seaford
On Seaford properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Seaford's position near the mouth of the River Ouse and the historic Cuckmere Haven has left the surrounding water meadows prone to knotweed spread, aided further by old coastal defence works and disturbed shingle banks.
