Why ragwort is a problem in Norwich
On Norwich properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Norwich's riverside industrial past along the Wensum and Yare, including old maltings and railway yards near Norwich Thorpe station, has left disturbed ground where knotweed has become well entrenched across the city.
