Why ivy is a problem in Cork
On Cork properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. In Cork, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Lee and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Fitzgerald Park and The Marina, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Douglas and Blackrock, are where we most often find established stands.
