Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Jarrow
On Jarrow properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Jarrow's shipbuilding legacy along the River Tyne and Don left disturbed dockland and colliery ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the old slake wetlands and former industrial estates near the riverside.
