Knotweed in Exeter
Exeter's historic quayside along the River Exe and the Exeter Ship Canal towpaths provide disturbed alluvial ground where knotweed spreads readily, aided by former railway sidings near St David's station.
Exeter sits within our Devon coverage, where the main local pressure is steep river catchments and a long southern growing season.
