Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a highly invasive plant that appears all over the UK during the summer months. Although rather attractive in appearance, Japanese knotweed can be a real challenge to landowners, as it spreads rapidly causing widespread damage. In winter the plant dies back beneath the ground, but by late spring, the bamboo-like stems can start to grow to over 2 to 3 meters in height, suppressing all other growth.

Japanese knotweed can grow a few metres high in just a couple of weeks. It can cause costly structural damage if left uncontrolled. For development sites complete removal is necessary to avoid continued lateral growth and spreading. The presence of Japanese knotweed can impact on property values and the ability of a vendor to sell. The knotweed itself can exploit weaknesses in concrete during growth, so this invasive plant is considered extremely troublesome when discovered.
