Why marestail is a problem in Flint
On Flint properties, marestail deep rhizome network makes it one of the hardest weeds to shift from gardens, allotments and new-build plots. Around Flint Castle and the Dee estuary, Flint's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across North Wales.
