As you can probably see by the name ‘Japanese Knotweed’, this plant is not native to England. This therefore means that with no natural competition in the wild or any predators that will eat it, Japanese Knotweed has spread its way right through the UK! Therefore, man-made practices are required to halt the growth and spread.

It is an extremely deceiving plant, with its beautiful heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers in later summer autumn time, it looks like a lovely plant for any garden. But don’t be deceived as it can take over your garden quickly. It can grow up to 3 metres tall during the growing season! Not only does its foliage spread, but its underground root system is strong and spreads out several metres.

The roots can cause further unseen damage by breaking through walls and concrete, damaging buildings. As you can see this will affect the value of your property. The presence of Japanese Knotweed will also hinder the sale of your property.
