    Why knotweed spreads in West Midlands

    The Birmingham canal network is the defining knotweed corridor in the West Midlands, feeding infestations into the Black Country's former foundry and quarry land. Bamboo and buddleia encroachment frequently appear on the same sites.

    Main local pressure: Canal network and Black Country former industrial land.
