Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Newbridge
On Newbridge properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. In Newbridge, 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 The Curragh and Liffey Linear Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Kildare and Kilcullen, are where we most often find established stands.
