How Did It Get To The UK?

During the Victorian era, Philip von Siebold brought Japanese knotweed to the UK, not knowing about all the negative impact it would have in years to come. In fact, when the weed was first imported to England, it was the upper class who took the most interest in purchasing this invasive plant. At the time, the strange, shaped leaves were considered ‘fashionable’ which is the reason as to why it sparked popularity amongst the wealthier class.

What is the Best Course of Treatment?

The most common and preferred treatment method is a herbicide treatment. Moreover, when we use a herbicide treatment, it will be recommended to use between the months April-October. This is as it is Japanese knotweed’s growing season. The herbicide we use is a systemic translocating herbicide. Our herbicide treatment is most efficient on a warm, sunny day. We use various chemicals to treat Japanese knotweed, one is significantly stronger than what is available to the general public and one is not available to the public in any form.
