Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Chepstow
On Chepstow properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Chepstow sits at the Wye and Severn confluence, where tidal disturbance and the old railway and quayside land give knotweed ideal disturbed ground, with stands recurring along the Wye Valley bank.
