Why stinging nettles is a problem in Newtownards
On Newtownards properties, stinging nettles colonise nutrient-rich and disturbed ground, making verges, play areas and yard margins unusable within a season. In Newtownards, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Strangford Lough and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Scrabo Tower and Mount Stewart, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Comber and Greyabbey, are where we most often find established stands.
