Why ivy is a problem in Manchester
On Manchester properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Manchester's industrial canal network, including the Rochdale Canal and former cotton mill sites, has left extensive brownfield land where knotweed spreads rapidly through disused railway viaducts and inner-city wastelands.
