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.

The most common method of treatment is a herbicide treatment. Which, is also, typically the most cost effective for our clients. The best time to spay the Japanese knotweed is when the plant is actively growing. The herbicide we use is a systemic translocating herbicide which is most efficient on a warm, sunny day during the growing season. We use two different chemicals to treat Japanese knotweed, one is significantly stronger than what is available to the general public.
