Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Ballinasloe
On Ballinasloe properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. In Ballinasloe, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Suck and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Garbally Park and Shannon Callows, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ahascragh and Aughrim, are where we most often find established stands.
