Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Brackley
On Brackley properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Brackley's old market town streams feeding the River Great Ouse and the disused Great Central Railway embankment on its outskirts both provide sheltered, undisturbed corridors where knotweed has become established.
