The nights are getting shorter, the days are getting longer. It’s that time of the year when plants are waking up from hibernation, ready to take in rays from the sun and some April showers.

 Japanese knotweed however is a light sleeper and rhizome is already bursting with energy to take on the world.  Pictures are from a roadside stand in Kircaldy. The red shoots are a tell-tale sign of life and will soon be metres high!

Time to think about management plans for control and eradication.

Japanese Knotweed is a very robust perennial shrub.  While originating from the mountains of Asia taking root in rocky slopes covered in volcanic ash it is equally happy to take its chances on the sandy saline shores of the North Chanel –it’s really quite an amazing range of conditions when you think about it.

It is no wonder that it is a tricky specimen to get under control when it is this robust and adaptable.
