Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in King's Lynn
On King's Lynn properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. King's Lynn's historic docks along the Great Ouse and its former industrial wharves have provided disturbed riverside ground that knotweed has colonised, with further spread along the old rail lines into the town.
