4 Blackthorn Trees 30-50cm

The Blackthorn is native throughout the British Isles, it grows to around 13ft (4m). Its white flowers appear from March onwards before it comes into leaf. It forms a dense hedge - and can be quite invasive as it spreads by suckers. Many birds nest among its branches and its fruit - sloes - are made into jam wine and used for flavouring Gin. Whilst it forms an excellent security hedge, care should be taken where young children are around as it produces strong thorns which can cause injury. The current height and quantity of plants is shown above.
