Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Ystalyfera
On Ystalyfera properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Ystalyfera is in the upper Swansea Valley, where steep ground, the Swansea Canal and old works land hold invasive weeds.
