Why ivy is a problem in Burnley
On Burnley properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Burnley's canal-side cotton mills and colliery spoil heaps along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Calder created disturbed, nutrient-rich ground where Japanese knotweed has become firmly established across the old industrial valley.
