Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Bury
On Bury properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. Bury's former textile and paper mill sites along the River Irwell and the East Lancashire Railway embankments have left disturbed ground where knotweed has spread into surrounding parkland and allotments.
