Balsam plants

There are two harmful invasive alien species of balsam in Finland: the Himalayan balsam and the orange balsam. Balsam plants spread through seeds. You can find more information on balsam plants and their control methods on the Luontoportti and RHS -sites.

• Pack the balsam plant waste in a tightly closed double garbage bag. Take the waste to the sorting station as waste consisting of invasive alien species.
