Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Rotherham
On Rotherham properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Rotherham's heavy steel industry along the River Don and River Rother left extensive slag heaps and disturbed riverbanks, providing ideal conditions for Japanese knotweed to establish along the Chesterfield Canal and old works sites.
