Why ivy is a problem in Portishead
On Portishead properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Portishead's former dockland and disused power station site along the Bristol Channel shoreline left extensive disturbed brownfield land, which knotweed has colonised alongside the old railway trackbed.
