Why horsetail is a problem in Staines-upon-Thames
On Staines-upon-Thames properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Around the riverside and the town centre, Staines-upon-Thames's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Surrey.
