Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Mansfield
On Mansfield properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Mansfield's former colliery spoil heaps and quarry workings along the River Maun created disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through old railway cuttings and the Sherwood Forest fringes near the town.
