Japanese knotweed was brought to the UK back in the Victorian era and since then, it has spread across the entire nation. Due to Britain’s extensive canal and rail network, the knotweed has spread continuously, and is still doing so today.
There has been a recent case in Buckinghamshire where a new type of knotweed has been discovered. The knotweed, called ‘Fallopia Bohemica’ or Bohemian knotweed is a crossbreed of Japanese knotweed and Giant knotweed.
All landowners are legally responsible for controlling and removing Japanese knotweed from their property in order to prevent its spread, regardless of whether this is a domestic homeowner or a commercial entity.
