BUDDLEIA

WHAT IT IS...

Native to China and Japan, its dense; woody stems can penetrate masonry to the extent that it can damage a properties structural integrity. If treated early enough it we can treat the plant with herbicides and manage its impact.

WHY IS IT A PROBLEM?

The first thing to note is that Buddleia can grow practically anywhere.

It’s important if it invades areas like guttering and walls that it is removed speedily.

Allowing the plant to gain a strong foothold can cause structural damage.

Buddleia is particularly invasive in areas such as railway sidings and industrial sites. It has also been seen thriving chalk grasslands.

These locations tend to support a range of different invertebrates many of which are on the endangered list.

It’s important for these areas that the Buddleia is removed so that diversity is not affected.

HOW WE TREAT IT

If the plant has grown out of control we also have a range of methods to bring it under control and then remove remnants.

Every job is assessed individually and a management plan is drawn up for complete satisfaction.
