Himalayan Balsam 

Himalayan Balsam ( Impatiens Glandulifera ) is a distinctive looking annual plant native to the Western and Central Himalayas.

First introduced to these shores in the mid nineteenth century at London’s Kew Gardens it is easily identified by it’s helmeted flower petals which range from a deep purple to white in colour.

It’s reddish green stems can grow up to 7 metres in height and it is often found located along riverbanks and waste land and in recent times has begun to become more of a problem as it can also invade domestic gardens.

Himalayan Balsam is a very hardy plant that spreads quickly and aggressively causing problems for local eco systems due to it’s ability to out compete native plant species and it’s ability to survive in low light conditions. It also contributes to river bank erosion as it dies back during the winter.

Himalayan Balsam In The Environment

Himalayan Balsam is now classified as a pest in many countries throughout Europe , and a noxious weed in some US States.

In the UK it is an offence to introduce it into the environment and it is banned for sale.

An incredibly fast spreading species of plant, Himalayan Balsam tends to spread courtesy of it’s densely packed, highly explosive seed pods, which when ripe can shower up to 800 seeds approximately seven metres away from the host plant.

Himalayan Balsam is often found alongside river banks because these seeds can find themselves projected into the neighbouring river and washed downstream where they wash up and take root, creating new infestations.

Some of the main methods of treating and removing Himalayan Balsam include :

Manual Removal Of the Plant  – Pulling the flowers, roots and stems up by hand.
