It was this summer that Helena Göransdotter from Borlänge began to notice tiny sprouts from the plant chute trying to enter through a hole in the kitchen element, something SVT Nyheter Dalarna also reported on. He had previously excavated the plant that was outside his kitchen window, but he really wasn’t in full control of which plant he was dealing with.
– It had entered between the plinth and the wall and through the hole in the element, he says.
An extremely tenacious plant
The Parkslide plant is known to drive out other plants and is very hardy. If the plant is handled incorrectly, there is a risk that it will start to spread further. Just 0.7 grams of the root is enough for a new stand to form, making the plant extremely difficult to control.
– I’m desperate. The worst thing is that there is hardly any help available. You have to fight with yourself. But if you make a mistake, it can make things worse, says Helena Göransdotter.
Helena: “It’s war”
Helena Göransdotter has started the fight against the plant and, among other things, has sprayed the roots with a plant poison in hopes of stopping the spread. She says she is also concerned that there will be damage to the house when the plant enters the house.
– It’s war. It is like a creature, it is aggressive and I think it is evil, says Helena Göransdotter.
– I hope he calms down, but is willing to fight with him for several years, he says.
This is the Parkslide plant:
Parkslide is a very resistant plant with a strong propagation power. It can repel other species and has the ability to occupy large areas. It is similar to bamboo in appearance. Parkslide is not yet classified as an invasive species and therefore the plant is not banned.
Parkslide occurs mainly in southern Sweden, but can also be found up to Dalarna.
