Why ivy is a problem in Bridgwater
On Bridgwater properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Bridgwater's tidal River Parrett and its former brick-and-tile industry left extensive disturbed clay pits and dock land, which together with the old railway sidings have made knotweed a persistent local problem.
