Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Enniskillen
On Enniskillen properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. In Enniskillen, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lough Erne and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Enniskillen Castle and Castle Coole, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Lisnaskea and Irvinestown, are where we most often find established stands.
