Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Dublin
On Dublin properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. In Dublin, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Liffey and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Phoenix Park and Grand Canal, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ranelagh and Rathmines, are where we most often find established stands.
