Japanese Knotweed may not look like a problem as it is actually quite an attractive looking plant. However, it would be wise not to be fooled by its beauty. This destructive plant costs Britain an estimated £165 million annually and has now been listed by the World Conservation Union as one of the worst invasive species in the world.
Wishing all our Muslim Clients Ramadan Mubarak during the Holy month of Ramadhan, from everyone at Claphams Solicitors.
Although Japanese Knotweed will decompose and become dormant in winter, the first signs of its rebirth are noticed in Spring where it is at its weakest. In the majority of cases, Japanese Knotweed growth is first noticed in March. Watch out for pink and red buds rising up from the ground as these buds are evidence of a highly expensive Japanese Knotweed problem in the future.
