Why New Zealand pigmyweed is a problem in Preston
On Preston properties, New Zealand pigmyweed tiny fragments regrow into dense mats on pond margins and damp ground, and it spreads on footwear, tyres and machinery. Preston's mill-town legacy along the River Ribble and Lancaster Canal left disturbed weirs and derelict cotton mill sites where Japanese knotweed spreads freely along riverside walkways and railway cuttings through the city.
