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