Prunus spinosa
Plant Description
The Prunus spinosa, commonly known as Blackthorn, is a dense, thorny shrub or small tree. It boasts dark, spiny branches and oval, serrated leaves that create a vivid green canopy. In early spring, it erupts into clusters of delicate white flowers, offering a stunning contrast to its black twigs. By late summer, it produces small, tart, blue-black fruits called sloes. These fruits, rich in tannins, are often used for culinary purposes. The Blackthorn's rugged appearance and adaptability make it a vital part of hedgerows and natural landscapes, supporting wildlife with food and shelter.
