Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Tonyrefail
On Tonyrefail properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Tonyrefail sits between the Rhondda and Llantrisant, where new estates on old farm and colliery land often turn up knotweed.
