Knotweed that has been found in various locations around the Village.
An excellent information resource is Japanese Knotweed (PDF). This is put out by the Michigan Department of National Resources with great information on this invasive species and best control proctices. Knotweed It is not supposed to be cut, as this makes it spread even more and the root system can get so large that it will cause havoc on foundations and the most importantly the water mains. |

ISN Invasive Knotweeds information, identification, and management>
How do I manage knotweed? A portion of the information on the ISN page
Avoid planting or spreading knotweed (it’s illegal!), monitor natural areas for signs of knotweed, and report any plants found as soon as possible. Knotweed is extremely difficult to treat; its deep root system and fragmenting abilities (it is able to sprout into a new plant from a small piece broken off the plant) make it nearly impossible to dig out; and many herbicides have proven ineffective. Consult with a professional to control this invader--contact ISN with questions.

- “Do Knot” cut, weed whack or mow knotweed. Knotweed is spread largely by small plant fragments; these activities can turn one plant into many.
- “Do Knot” dig out large infestations. Knotweed roots can go as much as 3m deep and are very large. Any tiny root fragment left behind can result in further growth.
- “Do Knot” put any knotweed parts in your home compost. Knotweed cannot be reliably broken down by your home compost and may grow instead.
