User's notes

Looks introduced, but doesn't seem to spread very aggressively, at least in that area (it has been there for some time).

Yes a reasonably slow spreader (except along river banks), but it is a terror to get rid of

It's not a very large infestation, so zap now by those who know how, hopefully.
