Why ivy is a problem in Marlborough
On Marlborough properties, ivy adventitious roots work into mortar, render and roof verges, and heavy growth adds wind load to walls, fences and mature trees. Marlborough's historic wide high street and the River Kennet's disturbed water meadows have given knotweed a foothold, spreading from the old college grounds into the surrounding downland verges.
