Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Rhymney
On Rhymney properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Rhymney sits at the head of the Rhymney valley, where old ironworks land and the railway line give knotweed long-standing footholds.
