Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Newport
On Newport properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Newport sits in Isle of Wight, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
