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