Japanese knotweed was brought over to the UK by the Victorians as an ornamental plant. Its lovely heart-shaped leaves and white flowers in late summer, make this plant look very attractive. However, it was also used alongside newly constructed railway lines, as it was planted along the embankments.

Away from its natural environment, it is very invasive. Here in the UK, we do not have the insects that prey on this plant, which control the growth. Japanese Knotweed is also very resilient as it grows on sides of volcanos in its native country of Japan. Therefore, Japanese Knotweed eradication in Dawley and throughout Shropshire county is very important.

With its strong root system which can grow through concrete, walls and foundation, it is important to treat and eradicate this weed.
