Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Penistone
On Penistone properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Penistone's former wire mills and railway viaduct over the River Don created disturbed, damp ground where Japanese knotweed has taken hold along the old Woodhead line embankments and riverside pastures nearby.
