Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Warwick
On Warwick properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. The River Avon flows past Warwick Castle, and the town's old canal wharves on the Warwick and Napton Canal have long supported knotweed, which also spreads along the disused railway sidings near the town centre.
