How bad is Japanese knotweed in Winchester?
So, how bad is it, really? Japanese knotweed is an extremely invasive plant that can cause a lot of trouble, for both your property and the environment. It’s strong enough to push through cracks in buildings and pavements, which can lead to serious damage over time. On top of that, having it around can lower property values and make getting a mortgage difficult. Growing as much as 20 cm in a single day, it also disrupts local ecosystems by outcompeting native vegetation.
According to a 2024 article by the Hampshire Chronicle, Winchester is among the top three hotspots for Japanese knotweed in Hampshire, following Southampton and Portsmouth, with 23 recorded occurrences of the invasive plant in the Winchester area. While this number is lower than Southampton’s highest-hit zones (which report up to 67 cases in a 4 km radius), Winchester still ranks high in the county for infestation levels.
