    Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Accrington

    On Accrington properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. Accrington's famous brickworks and old railway sidings along the River Hyndburn left disturbed clay pits and embankments where Japanese knotweed has spread extensively across the town's post-industrial landscape.
