Japanese knotweed update
Wed 18th May 2022 at 18:03The team are currently managing two areas of Japanese knotweed off Bonville Road. These two stands are being monitored regularly for growth and control treatment. The Japanese knotweed received control by chemical means during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Japanese knotweed usually takes at least 3-4 seasons to eradicate. Stem growth is renewed each year from the deeply penetrating rhizomes ( creeping underground stems). This can been seen regrowing now at the two locations . The control works are due to begin in May 2022 including reinstating the chestnut pale fencing around the Japanese knot weed stands, strimming the vegetation growth around the plants and applying chemical control to the Japanese knotweed plants.
