Why New Zealand pigmyweed is a problem in Belfast
On Belfast 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 Belfast, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Lagan and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Belfast Lough and Cave Hill, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Holywood and Dundonald, are where we most often find established stands.
