Why marestail is a problem in Ennis
On Ennis properties, marestail deep rhizome network makes it one of the hardest weeds to shift from gardens, allotments and new-build plots. In Ennis, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Fergus and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Ennis Friary and Lees Road woods, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Clarecastle and Quin, are where we most often find established stands.
