Garden warning as tiny leaves could signal weed that can cost £15,000

If you spot tiny "heart-shaped" leaves sprouting in your garden, be warned, you could be facing a hefty £15,000 bill. These leaves indicate the presence of Japanese knotweed, a highly invasive plant known for its rapid underground spread and potential to cause property damage.

Selling a property affected by Japanese knotweed requires full disclosure of its presence and any management strategies implemented, as failure to do so can lead to severe legal consequences, including being sued, according to David Sayce, managing director of Compare My Move. Taylor Weed Control highlights that one of the early signs of Japanese knotweed is the appearance of red and purple shoots in late spring, which eventually grow into leaves.

Gardening expert Kendal Platt, from Adventures with Flowers, noted: "Japanese knotweed shoots look similar to bamboo shoots growing two to three metres tall," reports the Express.
