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