Why montbretia is a problem in Kinsale
On Kinsale properties, montbretia corm chains multiply underground and spread along verges, hedgebanks and stream sides, excluding native plants. In Kinsale, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Bandon Estuary and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Charles Fort and Old Head, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Summercove and Ballinspittle, are where we most often find established stands.
