Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Coventry
On Coventry properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Coventry's post-war rebuilding left extensive brownfield land near the River Sherbourne, and former ring road embankments and old motor industry sites remain colonised by aggressive knotweed stands.
