Why stinging nettles is a problem in Falmouth
On Falmouth properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. Falmouth's historic deep-water harbour and former shipbuilding yards along the Penryn River have left disturbed dockside land where knotweed spreads through old quarry workings and coastal footpaths.
