Why ivy is a problem in Cardiff
On Cardiff properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Cardiff's docklands legacy along the River Taff and Bute Park's disturbed floodplain, plus old railway sidings near Cardiff Central, have given knotweed extensive opportunities to spread throughout the city.
