Why horsetail is a problem in Stockport
On Stockport properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Stockport's Victorian viaduct and former textile mills along the River Mersey and River Goyt have left disturbed riverbanks where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's steep wooded cloughs.
