Understanding the challenges of Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed, prominent for its rapid growth and ability to penetrate tough surfaces, poses a significant threat to properties. Its underground rhizome system, extending 1.5 meters deep and spreading 3 meters wide, can cause substantial damage and devalue properties.

The presence of Japanese knotweed presents hurdles in property transactions, as lenders often refuse loans for affected properties. This can result in delays in property sales until treatment commences. Operating across Sussex, we are committed to helping the community and offering solutions to overcome these challenges.

How to spot Japanese knotweed in Sussex

Having successfully managed Japanese Knotweed across the county, spanning from Chichester in West Sussex to Rye in East Sussex, our team are well-skilled at identifying and treating this distinctive plant. Recognisable by its hollow, bamboo-like stems adorned with pink-red dots and shield-shaped leaves, Knotweed tends to grow in clumps, soaring up to 3 meters in height.

During its blooming season from August to October, you will notice clusters of tiny, creamy-white flowers. In winter, the plant dies back to ground level and enters dormancy, sometimes leaving tall brown canes behind. While it may appear the plant is dead, the rhizomes remain active and guarantee annual regrowth.
