Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)
Some facts about Himalayan balsam:
Arrived UK in 1839.
Annual – grows 2m typically on river banks.
Suffocates native plants if unchecked.
Disperses approx. 800 seeds which can last 2 years.
Can be treated by spraying, pulling or cutting.
It has very poor root growth so causes increased erosion to river banks when it dies back in the winter.
