    Himalayan Balsam 

    Himalayan Balsam ( Impatiens Glandulifera ) is a large annual species of plant first introduced to the UK as a good looking ornamental garden plant in the 1800’s.

    Now considered a problematic weed it is commonly found throughout Europe and is easily identifiable by it’s distinct looking purple / pink flowers often helmet shaped.

    It’s fast growing green and red stems can grow up to two metres tall and it is often found along watercourses in densely formed clumps as well as infecting wooded areas, domestic gardens and building sites.

    Himalayan Balsam Control And Spread

    Himalayan Balsam has become such an issue throughout Europe that it is now illegal in the EU for it to be grown or imported.

    It is a very fast and aggressive spreader as each plant can produce up to 800 seeds that can then be scattered up to seven metres away from the host plant from densely packed and explosive seed pods.

    These can then be washed downstream where further concentrations form, contributing to riverbank erosion as the plant dies back over the winter months.

    It can also spread quickly in all kinds of domestic and commercial settings as it outgrows it’s boundaries and moves into surrounding areas.

    Himalayan Balsam Removal

    Himalayan Balsam removal methods can include :

    Manual Removal -Removing the plant by hand.

    Cutting & Strimming – Cutting as close to the ground as possible.

    Herbicides – Weed Killers can be used on the infested area.

    James from Clearsafe surveyed our clump forming Black Bamboo and recommended how to remove it effectively from our border. James then attended on an agreed date and removed the Bamboo. The only way you would know any work was completed in the garden is the Bamboo is not there. James is very professional and we would highly recommend him. Thank you James for your help, it is very much appreciated.

    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
