Why ivy is a problem in Frome
On Frome properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Frome's steep-sided River Frome valley once powered its woollen mills, and the disturbed mill leats and old industrial terraces around Trinity have left knotweed firmly established through the town.
