Why horsetail is a problem in West Bromwich
On West Bromwich properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. West Bromwich's industrial past, including old iron foundries and the Tame Valley Canal, left disturbed brownfield corridors where knotweed thrives, spreading into Dartmouth Park and nearby residential streets.
