Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Aberdare
On Aberdare properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Aberdare sits in the Cynon valley, where former coal tips and the River Cynon's disturbed banks carry knotweed down from the heads of the valleys to the Taff confluence at Abercynon.
