Why horsetail is a problem in Blanchardstown
On Blanchardstown properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. In Blanchardstown, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Tolka and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Royal Canal and Tolka Valley Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Castleknock and Clonsilla, are where we most often find established stands.
