Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Pudsey
On Pudsey properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Pudsey's former textile mills and the Leeds and Bradford Ring Road's disturbed embankments have allowed knotweed to spread into the town's parks, aided by the nearby Aire Valley railway corridor.
