Anyway, it was a cousin I have in Bognor Regis who alerted me to the dangers of having Giant Japanese Knotweed in your garden.
It was introduced to this country by the Victorian gardeners & delight turned to despair when it's roots attacked buildings and outhouses, even pushing through concrete. Grrr.
banned by "them".

I like it.
What do you think of these incorrigible garden escapees?
