Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Llantrisant
On Llantrisant properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Llantrisant's hilltop castle and the surrounding former colliery and common land, plus the Ely valley's disturbed banks, give knotweed recurring stands on the town's rural edges.
