Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Treharris
On Treharris properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Treharris lies near the Taff Bargoed valley, where former Deep Navigation colliery land and river banks hold invasive species.
