Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Navan
On Navan properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. In Navan, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Boyne and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around River Blackwater and Athlumney Castle, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Johnstown and Kells, are where we most often find established stands.
