Blackthorn
(Prunus spinosa)

Blackthorn has a mid green leaf and white flowers in spring which develop into black fruit (sloes) in winter.

The Blackthorn has sharp thorns and is therefore good to include in a hedge if a degree of security is required.

Blackthorn is also a good choice to include in a mixed native hedge as it is appealing to wildlife.An unfussy plant, Blackthorn is tolerant of most soil conditions and should be planted at a rate of five plants per metre.
