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