Why horsetail is a problem in Nottingham
On Nottingham properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Nottingham's lace mills and railway goods yards along the River Trent and Nottingham Canal left disturbed brownfield corridors where Japanese knotweed has spread widely along the Trent embankments and old industrial wharves.
