Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Antrim
On Antrim properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. In Antrim, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lough Neagh and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Sixmilewater and Antrim Castle Gardens, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Randalstown and Templepatrick, are where we most often find established stands.
