Why horsetail is a problem in Dún Laoghaire
On Dún Laoghaire 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 Dún Laoghaire, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Dublin Bay and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around East Pier and Killiney Hill, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Dalkey and Blackrock, are where we most often find established stands.
