Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Littlehampton
On Littlehampton properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Sitting at the mouth of the River Arun, Littlehampton has significant riverside knotweed populations, further compounded by former shipyard and timber-wharf land along the harbour that has lain disturbed for decades.
