Why ivy is a problem in Lowestoft
On Lowestoft properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Lowestoft's former fishing docks and the tidal Lake Lothing channel have left extensive brownfield land where knotweed has colonised, with further spread along old railway embankments serving the harbour area.
