Blackthorn C

Family:
Rosaceae (Rose family).

Native British tree.

Propagation:
The Blackthorn grows long spreading roots, which send up shoots, known also as suckers, which will quickly grow into healthy young trees. The easiest way to propagate the Blackthorn therefore, is to dig up some of these baby trees, including a bit of the root and plant these out where you want the tree to grow.
Alternatively, the sloe can be harvested and seeded. Plant straight after picking and cover with about 1 cm of soil.

Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa)

Note from webmother to page visitors:
Many of these pages are still bare bones. Whenever time allows, we will continue to add information to the Tree Gallery until all the trees have descriptions of their habitat, characteristics, cultivation, uses and anything else of interest. Email us if you are keen to know more about a particular tree and we will do our best to complete that one next.
