Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Corby
On Corby properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Corby's dramatic industrial legacy from its former steelworks has left extensive derelict land where knotweed thrives, spreading further along disused railway sidings and the East Carlton Country Park's woodland streams.
