Why ivy is a problem in Retford
On Retford properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Retford's riverside market square by the River Idle and old Chesterfield Canal spur left disturbed towpath and railway embankment ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the town's former industrial fringes.
