    What Is Himalayan Balsam ?

    A native of the Himalayas and originally imported to the UK in the 1800’s Himalayan Balsam is an attractive but invasive plant often found on the banks of rivers and waterways but which can spread and thrive in most conditions.

    It can be identified by it’s striking pink / purple and white flowers that grow in the shape of a helmet, giving it one of it’s nicknames “Policeman’s Helmet” as well as “Kiss Me On The Mountain” as a nod to it’s good looks and Himalayan roots.

    It has explosive green hanging seed pods that scatter and spread the seeds and can grow up to ten metres tall.

    Along with it’s ability to spread quickly Himalayan Balsam can survive in low light levels meaning it can out compete native species and it’s ability to survive in most environments makes it quite difficult to eradicate.

    Himalayan Balsam Spread

    Himalayan Balsam’s unchecked spread throughout the UK means it is now banned from sale and illegal to plant or cause to grow in the wild.

    It’s ability to spread so quickly is mainly down to it’s densely packed, highly explosive seed pods, which can produce up to 800 seeds that can scatter 7 metres away from the plant.

    These are often scattered into streams and rivers which is why you often find Himalayan Balsam alongside riverbanks and wet areas, as the seeds get carried downstream where they wash up and create further infestations.

    Himalayan Balsam Removal Methods

    Aside from the famous “Balsam Bashing” parties organised by charities and community and conservation groups to help tackle the spread, other removal methods include :

    Removing the plants and roots by hand.

    Cutting, Strimming or Mowing the plant.

    Herbicide Treatments for the infested area.

    Responded to my email query within 24 hours. James called to my property and explained clearly what needed to be done. Totally professional and helpful without wanting to charge me for work that didn't need doing. Excellent.

    Excellent service, highly recommend. I had a letter from a neighbour concerned there was a canopy of knotweed on our border coming from my side. I contacted Clearsafe after work looking to book an assessment and James kindly said he’d pop over that evening! James quickly confirmed it was not knotweed, was likely a fruiting vine and sure enough found some small fruits. He kindly went with my neighbour to assess the border from their side also and confirmed there was no knotweed. He explained the differences in the stem and leaves and what to look for. Incredible service, professional and friendly. It was incredibly stressful thinking there was knotweed but James was very kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. Highly recommend.

    We are in the middle of purchasing a property and it was brought up in the survey that JKW was likely to be present. We contacted several JKW specialists in the area. Clearsafe went above and beyond. In a matter of hours they had identified the plant and offered invaluable information, advice and support to help us progress with our sale as well as providing us with excellent quotations. I will not be hesitating to use or recommend this company in the future.

    We’re in the process of putting our house on the market and concerns were raised as to whether some weeds in the garden were knotweed. Contacted James who requested photos. He came back to me within an hour in between other jobs and was able to not only confirm it wasn’t knotweed but tell me exactly what the weeds were. Really appreciated his friendly but professional approach and quick responses. Would highly recommend.

    Had a bamboo patch in the garden out of control. Phoned up, sent a video of the area and within weeks it’s all been sorted. Credit to the lads, they were on time and put a shift in even when the sun was on full beam. Will definitely be recommending you to friends and family. Thanks again
