Why knotweed spreads in Tyne & Wear
The Tyne and Wear riverbanks and the region's shipyard and staithe brownfield land hold dense, long-established stands, and the shorter northern growing season means treatment programmes here usually need an extra season to complete.
Main local pressure: Riverbank and shipyard brownfield with a short treatment season.
