Why ivy is a problem in Bath
On Bath properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Bath's river gorge and old quarry spoil from its stone workings, along with the disturbed towpaths of the Kennet and Avon Canal, continue to give knotweed a persistent presence across the city's edges.
