520 _aExamines the problems caused by Japanese knotweed for land developers. It was introduced to the UK in the 19th century and outperforms indigenous plants. It can grow through concrete, with significant consequences. Contamination is often via rhizomes dislodged and carried by flooding. Unmanaged land can easily fall prey to the weed, which significantly reduces land value. Major developments have suffered significant delays due to the weed. Removal is by herbicidal treatment or physical removal. Some unscrupulous companies are claiming to be experts in its removal and charging inflated prices.
