Why rosebay willowherb is a problem in Blackburn
On Blackburn properties, rosebay willowherb wind-blown seed colonises cleared ground, car park margins and railway land almost immediately after disturbance. Blackburn's former cotton mills and coal workings along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal left disturbed, damp ground where Japanese knotweed has flourished, particularly along disused railway sidings and old millrace channels.
