Why ragwort is a problem in Dundee
On Dundee properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Dundee sits in Dundee & Angus, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
