Why New Zealand pigmyweed is a problem in Chester
On Chester properties, New Zealand pigmyweed tiny fragments regrow into dense mats on pond margins and damp ground, and it spreads on footwear, tyres and machinery. Chester's Roman and Victorian development along the River Dee and Shropshire Union Canal left disturbed towpaths and old industrial wharves where Japanese knotweed has spread, particularly along the Meadows and Sealand Road corridors.
