Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Norwich
On Norwich properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. Norwich's riverside industrial past along the Wensum and Yare, including old maltings and railway yards near Norwich Thorpe station, has left disturbed ground where knotweed has become well entrenched across the city.
