Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Ammanford
On Ammanford properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Ammanford sits on the River Amman at the western edge of the South Wales coalfield, where former colliery tips and disused railway beds keep knotweed active along the Amman and Loughor corridors.
