Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Ferndale
On Ferndale properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Ferndale sits in the Rhondda Fach, where former colliery sites and the narrow valley floor hold long-established knotweed stands.
