What is Japanese Knotweed and the impact it has in Birmingham

Japanese Knotweed is an invasive plant from East Asia, now problematic in Birmingham as well as Europe and North America.

It grows rapidly, damaging ecosystems and infrastructure with its aggressive spread and strong roots. The plant’s resilience makes it difficult to eradicate, often requiring chemical, physical, or biological control methods.

Many countries have implemented strict regulations to combat its spread, but it remains a persistent environmental and economic concern.

Elaine Chadwick

Glasgow

I called this company in a panic when a neighbour spotted giant knotweed in my garden. This company immediately put me at ease and had an inspector at my property within a couple of hours. Luckily, it turned out not to be knotweed – I received a written notification of this the very next day- but I was hugely impressed by everyone I dealt with. Calls were returned immediately and nothing seemed too much trouble. AMAZING customer service. Elaine. Glasgow

What does Japanese Knotweed look like in Birmigham?


Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) is an invasive plant causing significant issues in Birmingham and the UK.

Early detection is key. It’s characterized by hollow, bamboo-like stems up to 3 metres tall with reddish-brown nodes. Heart-shaped leaves grow in a zig-zag pattern along the stems.

The plant produces small white flowers in spring, followed by seed clusters.

FAQ

Popular Questions

Here are some of the most common questions about Japanese Knotweed in Birmingham

The underground rhizomes of this species can penetrate loose aggregate and grow through existing small cracks, openings or voids in asphalt/concrete. Like many plant species, once established, the underground structures of Japanese Knotweed rhizome can slowly increase in volume over time and ultimately impact built structures (e.g. drains and patios), typically in the form of exacerbating existing weakness or damage.

Although you do not legally have to remove Japanese knotweed from your land unless it’s causing a nuisance, you can be prosecuted for causing it to spread into the wild. We would highly recommend a professional contractor who is a member of the Property Care Association is appointed to survey, control or remove any Japanese Knotweed present on your property. Japanese knotweed does not respect boundary lines. It will grow wherever it is allowed to, and cause issues for home and landowners and developers.

It is not illegal to have Japanese Knotweed on your property, but you can be prosecuted or given a community protection notice for causing a nuisance if you allow it to spread onto anyone else’s property. You may also be at risk of prosecution if found guilty of disposing of Japanese knotweed in the wild as knotweed is deemed as controlled waste and has legalities around its disposal under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

The cost to remove Japanese knotweed in Birmingham, or anywhere in the UK, can vary significantly based on several factors, such as the size of the infestation, the location of the property.

Yes, you can attempt to get rid of Japanese knotweed on your Birmingham property yourself, but it’s a challenging and labour-intensive process that requires careful planning, persistence, and understanding of the regulations surrounding this invasive species.
