Why horsetail is a problem in Enniskillen
On Enniskillen 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 Enniskillen, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lough Erne and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Enniskillen Castle and Castle Coole, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Lisnaskea and Irvinestown, are where we most often find established stands.
