What is Japanese Knotweed?
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is one of the most aggressive invasive plants in the UK. It spreads rapidly, growing up to 10cm per day, and can cause severe damage to buildings, roads, and gardens. Due to its extensive underground rhizome system, it is incredibly difficult to remove without professional intervention.
If you are unsure whether you have Japanese knotweed, contact Japanese Knotweed Elimination for a knotweed survey today.
How to Identify Japanese Knotweed in the UK
Early knotweed identification is crucial to preventing its spread. Here’s what to look for:
- Spring: Red/purple shoots emerge, resembling asparagus.
- Summer: Large, heart-shaped green leaves and hollow bamboo-like stems.
- Autumn: White flowers bloom, and the stems start turning brown.
- Winter: The plant dies back above ground, but its underground rhizomes remain active.
If you suspect knotweed, schedule a comprehensive Japanese knotweed survey in the UK with our specialists.

The Dangers of Japanese Knotweed
Japanese Knotweed Impact on UK Property Values
One of the biggest concerns about Japanese knotweed is its effect on property value. Many mortgage lenders refuse loans on properties affected by knotweed unless a professional knotweed management plan is in place. Homeowners may find that their property loses up to 10-20% of its value due to an infestation.
Legal Advice for Dealing with Japanese Knotweed
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to allow Japanese knotweed to spread into the wild. If knotweed spreads from your property onto neighbouring land, you could face legal action.
Our team at Japanese Knotweed Elimination provides knotweed legal advice to help you navigate your responsibilities and ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
