Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Atherstone
On Atherstone properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Around the market square and the nearby Merevale Abbey, Atherstone's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Warwickshire.
