Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Treorchy
On Treorchy properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Treorchy lies in the upper Rhondda Fawr, where steep terraced streets, retaining walls and reclaimed colliery land are classic ground for knotweed.
