Summary

Rhododendron control is possible to achieve within standard costs.
Pre-control surveys must be accurate.
Ensure proper planning for supervision of contractors.
Success of control varies with land suitability for rhododendron

growth – poor, shallow soils of Ben Damph make regrowth less vigorous and easier to keep on top of.

Unlike rewilding there is nothing controversial about rhododendron

control.

It helps to have input, support and guidance of experienced agency

staff to instil the confidence to proceed.

Be courageous and get on with it!
