The Ultimate Japanese Knotweed Guide

Claire Mitchell has published an extensive guide providing actionable tips on how to remove Japanese Knotweed, including the associated costs.

Japanese Knotweed is one of the toughest, most damaging and insidious plants in the world.

There’s even an old wive’s tale about this weed growing so menacingly, that it can “creep over cat’s feet”.

It’s also challenging to eradicate and can grow underground to a depth of three metres with a horizontal spread of up to seven metres in all directions. House foundations, concrete and patios are no barriers to the proliferation of this pest.

The Ultimate Japanese Knotweed Guide looks at the history, identification, growth rate and season, likely damage, legal status, treatment and removal as well as providing other handy tips and external websites.
