Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Tredegar
On Tredegar properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Tredegar's ironworks legacy left vast spoil tips along the Rhymney and Sirhowy, and these disturbed banks remain one of the most persistent knotweed strongholds in the South Wales valleys.
