Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Spixworth
On Spixworth properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Spixworth's rural setting near disturbed field margins and the old Norwich to Cromer railway line has allowed knotweed to spread along hedgerows and drainage ditches feeding into the River Bure catchment.
