Why marestail is a problem in Berwick-upon-Tweed
On Berwick-upon-Tweed properties, marestail deep rhizome network makes it one of the hardest weeds to shift from gardens, allotments and new-build plots. Berwick-upon-Tweed sits in Northumberland, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
