Why horsetail is a problem in Horsham
On Horsham properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. The River Arun rises near Horsham, and the town's old brickworks and former railway sidings along its course have proved ideal ground for knotweed, with further spread tracked through Horsham Park's watercourses.
