Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Newmarket
On Newmarket properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Newmarket's extensive horse-racing gallops and former railway sidings serving the studs have left disturbed chalky ground prone to knotweed, which is also found along the Fordham stream running through the town.
