Why knotweed spreads in Gloucestershire
The Severn floodplain is an efficient distribution system for knotweed rhizome, and flood events regularly deposit viable fragments on land that surveyed clear the year before. Conservation-area constraints in Cheltenham and Stroud often rule out heavy excavation.
Main local pressure: Severn floodplain, canal corridors and conservation constraints.
