Why ivy is a problem in Ipswich
On Ipswich properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Ipswich's historic wet dock and the tidal River Orwell have long supported knotweed, which also spreads along former industrial land near the old maltings and the disused railway sidings that once served the port.
