This comprehensive article on Japanese knotweed details how knotweed came to the UK in the mid 1800’s, and is now estimated to cost the UK around £166 million to control.

Liz Wakeman, a project manager from Bristol, was devastated to discover the presence of Japanese knotweed, which halved the value of the property.
