Why horsetail is a problem in Warrington
On Warrington properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Warrington's dense railway network, old chemical works and the Manchester Ship Canal have created disturbed corridors along the River Mersey where Japanese knotweed proliferates, especially near former wire-works and tannery sites.
