Profile

Japanese knotweed has become increasingly well known in recent years, and is a growing commercial problem because of the challenges it causes in the urban environment. The plant, which is native to eastern Asia, was introduced in the early 19th century to adorn the gardens of Victorian England. As early as the beginning of the 20th century it was widely recognised as an invasive species.

Problems Caused
