Why Remove Japanese Knotweed?
Introduced to the UK in the mid-1800s, Japanese knotweed has become one of the most troublesome plant species in the country – here’s why:
- The plant grows very quickly — up to 10cm a day in summer — and can cause structural damage by growing through small cracks in walls, concrete, etc.
- Knotweed can even block pipes and disrupt underground cables, causing costly damage.
- It can be incredibly difficult to sell houses affected by Japanese knotweed.
- Japanese knotweed is subject to strict environmental laws. If you allow it to spread into the wild – even by accident – you may have to pay a fine or even spend time in prison.
