Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Brackley
On Brackley properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Brackley's old market town streams feeding the River Great Ouse and the disused Great Central Railway embankment on its outskirts both provide sheltered, undisturbed corridors where knotweed has become established.
