Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Rhyl
On Rhyl properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Rhyl's coastal drainage channels and River Clwyd estuary, alongside old railway sidings serving the seaside resort, left disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along the harbourside and marsh margins.
