Why water primrose is a problem in Carlow
On Carlow properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. In Carlow, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Barrow and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Carlow Castle and Brownshill Dolmen, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Tullow and Bagenalstown, are where we most often find established stands.
