Why ivy is a problem in Ely
On Ely properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Ely's position on the River Great Ouse amid the drained fenland has left extensive drainage dykes and old riverside wharves where knotweed has become established, spreading readily through the flat, waterlogged terrain.
