Why ivy is a problem in Bourton
On Bourton properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Bourton-on-the-Water's River Windrush, which runs shallow and wide through the village, has disturbed banks and old mill sites nearby that have allowed knotweed to take hold along the Cotswold valley.
