Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Pontypridd
On Pontypridd properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Pontypridd sits at the confluence of the Taff and Rhondda rivers, where former coal-mining spoil and disused railway embankments have provided knotweed with extensive disturbed ground to colonise.
