Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Glynneath
On Glynneath properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Glynneath sits at the head of the Vale of Neath, where the Neath canal and waterfalls country carry balsam and knotweed.
