Why horsetail is a problem in Mansfield
On Mansfield properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Mansfield's former colliery spoil heaps and quarry workings along the River Maun created disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through old railway cuttings and the Sherwood Forest fringes near the town.
