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.
