Fallopia japonica – that’s Japanese knotweed to you and me – is a well known invasive plant that’s known for its rapid growth speed and difficulty to remove. Japanese knotweed can cause multiple problems for property owners, including making a home difficult to sell, mortgage, and insure.
While there’s never a good time or place for Japanese knotweed to grow, that couldn’t be more true for the locals of Worcester where a rampant Japanese knotweed infestation has been allowed to grow unchecked, with its excessive growth being seen to reach heights of up to 6ft!
The infestation in question sits in the corner of a public park, and is slowly creeping towards the homes that sit behind and back onto the park. The locals are frustrated with the lack of action from the council regarding the knotweed which has been allowed to spread and grow, and is now threatening residential homes.
Not only is Japanese knotweed capable of growing to such massive heights, it also spreads incredibly quickly. As the residents of Worcester found out the hard way, it’s always best to treat a knotweed infestation as soon as possible, lest it get out of hand.
