Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Mexborough
On Mexborough properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Mexborough's canal basin on the Dearne and Dove Canal and old glassworks sites created disturbed, damp ground along the River Don where Japanese knotweed has become established near the town's former industrial wharves.
