Why ivy is a problem in Southport
On Southport properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Southport's dune systems and the disused Cheshire Lines railway embankments have allowed knotweed to spread from Victorian pleasure gardens into the Marine Lake surrounds and coastal nature reserves.
