Why horsetail is a problem in Clevedon
On Clevedon properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Clevedon's Victorian seafront and disturbed clifftop paths along the Severn Estuary, combined with old quarry ground inland, have provided knotweed with a range of footholds around the town.
