Why horsetail is a problem in Camborne
On Camborne properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Camborne's tin mining heritage left extensive disturbed spoil tips and disused mineral railway lines, where knotweed has become entrenched around old engine houses and the South Crofty mine site.
