Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Pudsey
On Pudsey properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Pudsey's former textile mills and the Leeds and Bradford Ring Road's disturbed embankments have allowed knotweed to spread into the town's parks, aided by the nearby Aire Valley railway corridor.
