We have a new (death) star in Beverly Shores. Japanese knotweed is listed by the World Conservation Union as one of the world's 100 worst invasive species. Newsweek describes the monster: “Growing up to 6.5 feet tall and 65 feet wide due to its tireless and unstoppable army of unseen roots, knotweed spreads out underground and forces its way up through every crack imaginable, in patios, concrete paths, and even in walls and floors.” Once you've got knotweed, it is nearly impossible to eradicate.
