Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Ballymena
On Ballymena properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. In Ballymena, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Braid and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Slemish and People's Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ahoghill and Cullybackey, are where we most often find established stands.
