Why ivy is a problem in Wakefield
On Wakefield properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Wakefield's coal mining subsidence areas and the River Calder's disturbed floodplain, alongside former colliery spoil heaps, have allowed knotweed to establish extensively along the Calder and Hebble Navigation.
