Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Daventry
On Daventry properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Daventry's former canal wharf on the Grand Union Canal's Daventry Arm and the streams feeding Daventry Country Park reservoir have proved persistent knotweed sites, aided by disturbed ground from post-war industrial estates.
