Why rhododendron ponticum is a problem in Huddersfield
On Huddersfield properties, rhododendron ponticum forms dense evergreen thickets, shades out woodland ground flora and harbours Phytophthora pathogens that damage nearby trees. Huddersfield's dense canal network, including the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, and former textile mill sites along the River Colne have left disturbed ground where knotweed has spread into the surrounding valleys.
