Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Nuneaton
On Nuneaton properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Nuneaton's former coal mining and quarrying sites have left substantial derelict land where knotweed has readily colonised, with further spread along the Coventry Canal and the River Anker which flow through the town.
