It is a notifiable weed and it is illegal to allow it to set seed.


As is Ragwort but no one seems to know that around here - especially the
Council!!

It's an 'injurious weed' under the 1959 Weeds Act and landowners have a
duty to stop it spreading, but does that mean it is 'notifiable'? - ie,
do you have a legal duty to tell someone about it if you have it?
