Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Sutton-in-Ashfield
On Sutton-in-Ashfield properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Sutton-in-Ashfield's former textile mills and colliery tips along the River Idle headwaters left disturbed brownfield land where Japanese knotweed has established along old railway cuttings and reservoir margins nearby.
