Why New Zealand pigmyweed is a problem in Sligo
On Sligo properties, New Zealand pigmyweed tiny fragments regrow into dense mats on pond margins and damp ground, and it spreads on footwear, tyres and machinery. In Sligo, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Garavogue River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Benbulben and Lough Gill, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Strandhill and Rosses Point, are where we most often find established stands.
