Why ivy is a problem in Bolton
On Bolton properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Bolton's cotton mill heritage and the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal have left derelict industrial land, where knotweed spreads through disused rail sidings and the wooded banks of the River Croal.
