What is Japanese Knotweed? It is a fast-growing, invasive weed. Although, its appearance can be deceiving! It is attractive to the eye and many insects. This is due to its large heart-shaped leaves, red stems and small white flowers.
However, don’t be deceived by its appearance, it is very invasive and can lay dormant for over twenty years! Its foliage can grow at a rate of 1.2 metres per month and the roots or rhizomes can grow out several metres from the original stand.
Not only does it grow fast, but the roots can also break through paving, tarmac and concrete foundations. This can cause many problems for property owners and can cause structural damage to buildings.
