Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Ruthin
On Ruthin properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Around Ruthin Castle and St Peter's Square, Ruthin's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across North Wales.
