There are certain plants deemed as 'invasive' that can severely damage your garden and property if you allow them to grow
Summer is nearly upon us and with better weather on the horizon, you might be thinking of giving your garden a refresh.
The Express reports that specialists at Cel Solicitors claim it's “a criminal offence” to plant or cause to grow a non-native invasive species in this list, as you could be slapped with a “£5,000 fine and/or two years imprisonment”. Removing the weed is very difficult, and a whole new plant is able to grow from just the root. The solicitors said: “The best route for removal is a chemical spray or, depending on your property value, an excavation.
Although not as difficult to control as Japanese knotweed, it still needs work to stop it from spreading. The plant creates “pretty pink flowers” and as such it is often spread by people passing on seeds to friends to use in their gardens.
