Why stinging nettles is a problem in Newcastle
On Newcastle properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. In Newcastle, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Shimna River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Mourne Mountains and Tollymore Forest Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Dundrum and Castlewellan, are where we most often find established stands.
