Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Monaghan
On Monaghan properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. In Monaghan, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Ulster Canal and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Rossmore Forest Park and Peter's Lake, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Clones and Emyvale, are where we most often find established stands.
