Why ragwort is a problem in Coleraine
On Coleraine properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. In Coleraine, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Bann and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Mountsandel and Causeway Coast, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Portstewart and Portrush, are where we most often find established stands.
