Japanese Knotweed -
Treatment Options
Japanese Knotweed is a fast-growing and strong clump-forming herbaceous perennial plant which is extremely difficult to manage or remove once set in.
​
Although originally introduced to Ireland as an ornamental garden plant, Japanese Knotweed is an invasive non-native species and can be detrimental to development sites, gardens and properties as well as cause a number of ecological issues if allowed to become established.
​
Removing or even just controlling the spread of Japanese Knotweed on a site is a specialist operation, so we always recommend getting the experts in rather than attempting to remove it or treat it yourself.
