Sorry if you miss this; it’s only available for a short time – essentially it talks about how Japanese knotweed can wreak havoc to land and property and their value. It also looks at the possible development of control by a special knotweed-eating insect, Aphalara itadori, the Japanese knotweed psyllid.
