Why water primrose is a problem in Ballymena
On Ballymena properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. In Ballymena, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Braid and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Slemish and People's Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ahoghill and Cullybackey, are where we most often find established stands.
