Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Croydon

Since first arriving in Kew Gardens in 1850, Japanese knotweed has plagued the UK and is now listed as an invasive plant species. Knotweed is one of the highest risk plants, and allowing it to spread can lead you to being convicted if you allow it to spread

Why is Japanese Knotweed Such a Problem in Croydon?

The South East has always been a hotspot for Japanese knotweed, and Croydon has the perfect balance of open land for development and is close enough to London to make it a particular area where knotweed is rife.

Japanese knotweed root systems can spread up to 7 metres underground and the plant can grow as much as 2 cm a day. A single square metre patch of Japanese Knotweed may have around 250 shoots, and when present in areas where development happens at speed, this can cause havoc for the progress of commercial land projects.
