Ensure you dispose of the cuttings properly, contact your Council for
advise. The slightest bit containing a node will root again. Never dump
it.

I noticed a large mature clump (approx 12 feet by 6 feet) growing on a
grass
verge in the middle of the Derbyshire countryside last week. Made me
wonder
how it got there. I suppose Japanese knot weed will eventually take over
much more of the countryside unless steps are taken to eradicate it.

Some years ago I noticed a small clump by the road just on the Middlesex
side of Chertsey Bridge. It now extends along that whole section of road and
has colonised the other side of the road too such that it now extends along
a quarter of mile of road.
Unfortunately Spelthorne Council seem unwilling to do anything. (or perhaps
they feel unable to) :-(
