How Is Giant Hogweed Treated in Scotland?
Giant hogweed sap burns skin on contact with sunlight, so treatment is carried out in full protective clothing. Plants are sprayed or stem-injected in spring before they flower, and any flower heads are cut and bagged to stop seeding. One plant drops thousands of seeds that stay viable in the soil for years, which is why a programme runs over several seasons.
What Are the Rules on Giant Hogweed in Scotland?
In Scotland the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011 makes it an offence to plant giant hogweed or cause it to grow in the wild. SEPA regulates disposal, and cut material must go to a licensed site.
