Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Kenilworth
On Kenilworth properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Kenilworth's historic castle grounds and the old canal feeder streams running through Abbey Fields provide sheltered damp conditions favourable to knotweed, which has also spread along the disused Kenilworth railway branch line.
