Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Abergavenny
On Abergavenny properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Abergavenny's position at the Usk gap, with former railway and canal land around the town, gives knotweed disturbed corridors along the riverbank and onto the lower slopes of the Sugar Loaf.
