Why horsetail is a problem in Redhill
On Redhill properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Redhill grew rapidly around its railway junction, and the extensive sidings, embankments and former sand quarries nearby have long provided the kind of disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed becomes entrenched.
