Why ivy is a problem in Gloucester
On Gloucester properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Gloucester's historic docks along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and the Severn's disturbed floodplain have long harboured knotweed, with further spread from old railway sidings near Gloucester station.
