Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Bala
On Bala properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Around Bala Lake and the high street, Bala's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across North Wales.
