Why ivy is a problem in Bury St Edmunds
On Bury St Edmunds properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. The River Lark flows through Bury St Edmunds, and its banks, along with the town's old sugar-beet factory site, have proved persistent sources of knotweed spreading into the surrounding water meadows.
