Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Redhill
On Redhill properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Redhill grew rapidly around its railway junction, and the extensive sidings, embankments and former sand quarries nearby have long provided the kind of disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed becomes entrenched.
