Some non-native plants have been introduced to the UK. Not all cause a problem, but a few become &#8216;invasive&#8217; and take over an area. They do this by being better adapted for their environment than the other species growing in the area; they may, for example, grow bigger or faster or more aggressively. Very often there are no natural predators (disease, temperature, herbivores, etc). As a result, native species are often crowded out and the invasive plants take over, further upsetting the local ecological balance. Japanese knotweed is listed by the <a title=\"World Conservation Union\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Conservation_Union\">World Conservation Union<\/a>&nbsp;as one of the&nbsp;<a title=\"List of the world's 100 worst invasive species\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_the_world%27s_100_worst_invasive_species\">world&#8217;s 100 worst invasive species<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">What is Japanese knotweed? Japanese knotweed is a large herbaceous plant which dies back in the winter and regrows in the spring and summer.<\/span> Native to eastern Asia in Japan, China and Korea, it has been introduced to the British Isles; because it has established itself so successfully, it has been classified as an invasive species. The Latin name for Japanese knotweed is&nbsp;<i>Fallopia japonica<\/i>, and it&#8217;s also known as&nbsp;<i>&nbsp;Polygonum cuspidatum<\/i>&nbsp;Reynoutria japonica. In Chinese medicine it is known as&nbsp;<i style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">Huzhang, <\/i>and the Japanese name for it is<i style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">&nbsp;<\/i><i style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">itadori<\/i> <span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">Other names include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>American bamboo<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">donkey rhubarb<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">elephant ears<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">fleeceflower<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">Hancock&#8217;s curse<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">Himalayan fleece vine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">Japanese bamboo<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">Mexican bamboo<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">monkey fungus<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">monkeyweed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">pea shooters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 22.390625px;\">sally rhubarb<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(By the way, despite the names, it is not bamboo or rhubarb.) <span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">Where does Japanese knotweed grow? <\/span>Japanese knotweed will grows in all manner of places! Because it has such strong growth in a season and no competition, it can be found in gardens, on building sites, by rail cuttings, lining rivers and canals, on indiustrial parks &#8211; you name it, you&#8217;ll probably find it there! Because a new crop can grow from just a small piece of rhizome, much of its spread is probably via topsoil movement or construction traffic. Under the provisions made within the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is now an offence to cause Japanese knotweed to grow in the wild.<\/p>\n<p>What are the laws governing Japanese knotweed? Because of the ecological impact and the vast sums of money spent on its eradication, in<strong> England <\/strong>and<strong> Wales<\/strong> it is an offence under section 14(2) of the&nbsp;<a style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\" title=\"Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wildlife_and_Countryside_Act_1981\">Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981<\/a>&nbsp;<span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">to &#8216;plant or otherwise cause to grow in the wild&#8217; any plant listed in Schedule nine, Part II to the Act &#8211; needless to say, this includes Japanese knotweed.<\/span> <span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">In <strong>Scotland<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\" title=\"Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011 (page does not exist)\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Wildlife_and_Natural_Environment_(Scotland)_Act_2011&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">&nbsp;states that is an offence to either intentionally or unintentionally spread Japanese knotweed (or other non-native invasive species).<\/span> It is also classed as &#8216;controlled waste&#8217; throughout Britain, meaning it requires disposal at licensed landfill sites. This doesn&#8217;t just mean large amounts; it also includes any knotweed found in your garden. &nbsp;Japanese knotweed goes through an annual cycle, so it depends on what time of the year you&#8217;re looking.
