Why horsetail is a problem in Aylesbury
On Aylesbury properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Aylesbury's knotweed hotspots cluster along the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal and the River Thame, with disturbed ground from ongoing housing expansion around Berryfields also proving vulnerable to colonisation.
