Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Treorchy
On Treorchy properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Treorchy lies in the upper Rhondda Fawr, where steep terraced streets, retaining walls and reclaimed colliery land are classic ground for knotweed.
