Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Arnold
On Arnold properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Arnold's former hosiery mills and quarry sites near the Day Brook created disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along old railway paths and green corridors linking to Sherwood and Gedling.
