Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Lydney
On Lydney properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Around the harbour and the Dean Forest Railway, Lydney's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Gloucestershire.
