Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Nottingham
On Nottingham properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Nottingham's lace mills and railway goods yards along the River Trent and Nottingham Canal left disturbed brownfield corridors where Japanese knotweed has spread widely along the Trent embankments and old industrial wharves.
