- Originated from Asia and spread west for the last few hundred years (primarily by fragmentation)
- 10mm of plant can re-grow to maturity.
Reasons for Concern:
- Can invade and thrive in a variety of habitats with no natural predators or control mechanisms.
- Knotweed has evolved characteristics that aid the plant in exploiting riparian areas
- Knotweed reproduces through seeds, rhizomes, and sprouting from stem pieces which can move quickly down a riverbed and create new infestations.
- Knotweed can cause reduced land value due to its invasive nature.
- Canes can sprout through 6 inches of concrete or asphalt. (roads & foundations)
