Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Brynmawr
On Brynmawr properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Brynmawr is at the head of the valleys, where old industrial land and roadside verges along the A465 spread invasive weeds.
