Why ragwort is a problem in Penzance
On Penzance properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Penzance's Victorian harbourside and former railway terminus sidings have disturbed the coastal ground where knotweed now spreads along the Penlee headland and into nearby subtropical garden estates.
