There is some down the road from me, we had leaflets put in the door about it and to phone the council if you have any in your garden. |
Well its name kind of gives away its native status!...its very tall and leafy and extremely rapid growing with rounded but rhubarb type stems, purple speckles....
at least YOUR council is actively working on the problem...i wouldnt mind tackling my own patches ( actually not on my land its on national trust land but its kind of part of our garden) but the herbicide is soooooo expensive i cant afford to keep up with it, if they supply the goods ill do the spraying.
Oh and in terms of it taking over the world....it has been number 1 on defra's top ten most unwanted alien species list for a while!! Dam those pesky foreign plant collectors....nothing but trouble!
