Why ivy is a problem in Leeds
On Leeds properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Leeds' former textile mills and extensive canal network, including the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, have left brownfield riverside land along the Aire Valley where knotweed spreads through old rail corridors.
