The control of hogweed has started successfully this year. The most hogweed is found in Harju County.
Hogweed grows close to the ground surface. If you see it in your garden, it should be removed quickly. Usually people don't notice it immediately.
Hogweed grows throughout Estonia. The least amount is found on Hiiumaa. Tallinn has a big problem because hogweed was introduced with urban landscaping.
The number of hogweed plants has decreased over the last 10 years. Getting rid of the plant takes years. This year, the Environmental Board plans to control hogweed over an area of more than 2500 hectares.
Hogweed is a large plant. It takes many nutrients from the soil. Therefore, other plants don't grow well in the same place.
