Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Newark-on-Trent
On Newark-on-Trent properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Newark-on-Trent's riverside wharves and former maltings along the River Trent and Fossdyke navigation created disturbed, fertile banks where Japanese knotweed has spread near the castle grounds and old railway sidings.
