Why ivy is a problem in Stockport
On Stockport properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Stockport's Victorian viaduct and former textile mills along the River Mersey and River Goyt have left disturbed riverbanks where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's steep wooded cloughs.
