Why horsetail is a problem in Wolverhampton
On Wolverhampton properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Wolverhampton's canal network and former iron and steel works left disturbed ground where knotweed has flourished, spreading along the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal towpaths into surrounding suburbs.
