Why is Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria Japonica) an issue?

Japanese Knotweed is a major issue in the UK due to it's invasive nature. This fast spreading plant was introduced in the 19th century by Victorian plant hunters, and poses significant concern to property owners. Removal is challenging and requires specialists as even tiny fragments of the plant system can regrow. The plant's presence can devalue properties, as mortgage lenders may refuse loans and require a guarantee, but also cause financial strain and disputes with neighbours. 

Early detection and treatment is crucial to mitigate it's impact.
