Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Bournemouth
On Bournemouth properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Bournemouth's Victorian pleasure gardens along the Bourne Stream valley, known as the Chines, have provided sheltered disturbed ground where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's wooded ravines.
