2017

• November 10th: 4 1 very small in the new patch and 3 others similar size in main patch
• October 15th: 5
• September 23rd 4 1 very small in the new patch and 3 on top of the bund some 25cm high
• August 29th 27 4 around 50cm the rest under 20cm
• August 13th 2 Offspring from the main block,
  I've marked the location with an ash post just off the bund towards it. I tried digging as I imagine the roots may be young and not very deep, but didn't get any rhizome just young white bits of root! oops!
  
  
  
• August 12th 1 Very small
• August 9th 3 Very small
• August 5th 4 Very small
• July 24th 39 Very small
• July 22nd 11 The area is almost unrecognisable due to fallen trees and erosion of the bund. There is also a drying of the adjacent drain, probably due to water draining quicker throughthe breach further north:a consequence being that the drying of adjacent soil will allow the Japanese Knotweed to spread. Until now the flooded drain has been a barrier stopping the weed from moving inland.
• July 4th Area 3: 4off: The first offspring from the main block,
  Given the amount of damage to that area of bund it is not surprising, and given their size, I am hoping this is the first year of their expansion, so will keep a regular lookout.
