I imagine that it propagates itself the same as any other plant. Seeds, spreading roots, bits of plant getting knocked off and transported on moving trains. Railway lines are minimally maintained so anything vigorous will spread like hell. Look at the way brambles take over something like a railway embankment.

I believe the seeds are infertile and it spreads by roots and physical transport of matter

That's interesting. A small mercy there, evidently, or we'd be overrun with the stuff.

Also keep in mind that lenders are risk adverse so may offer more limited mortgage options if at all.

Check the guarantee. Is it insurance backed, and given by a company who is a member of the PCA.


If so, I would't have any concerns at all.
