Why suspected knotweed is a problem in Crawley
On Crawley properties, suspected knotweed bindweed, houttuynia, dogwood, russian vine and bamboo are all mistaken for knotweed, which triggers unnecessary panic during a sale. Crawley's development over former woodland and streams draining to the River Mole has left disturbed ground prone to knotweed, particularly along Tilgate Park's lakeside paths and the old railway embankments near the town centre.
