Why ivy is a problem in Birmingham
On Birmingham properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Birmingham's dense network of canals, built during the industrial revolution, along with derelict factory sites in Digbeth and old railway sidings, has created ideal conditions for knotweed to spread citywide.
