Identify Japanese Knotweed in Winter – what it looks like!
We know it has not completely died off. Its just waiting for Spring to come back round…..!
Japanese Knotweed will cause major disturbance to gardens, especially during the summer months as it out competes other plants and weeds.
However, many of us are fooled into thinking the winter months offer some peace from this invasive weed!
The fact of the matter is, Japanese Knotweed doesn’t die off completely…it’s just silently laying dormant in wait!
With its brown, cane, bamboo-like appearance over the winter months, some would think it’s dead.
This is the perfect time to put a plan into action! By Spring the shoots will grow at an alarming rate, which sees some growing over 4m in height.
We can help provide you with the ideal management plan and support you through the whole process.
The most important thing to remember – is don’t interfere with the above-ground growth or disturb the root system!
