The Blackthorn Shrub

Blackthorn, a member of the Rosaceae family, is native to the UK, Central Europe, and Western Asia. It shares its family lineage with other protective plants like Dog Rose, Crab Apple, Hawthorn, and Almond. This resilient shrub thrives in rocky soil, enduring harsh conditions with tenacity.

For centuries, Blackthorn was used in hedgerows to protect crops from livestock, while its dense structure provided a haven for wildlife. Beyond its role as a defender, it gifts us with small, plum-like sloe berries, which sweeten after the first frost. You’ll find Blackthorn along forest edges, sunny rocky slopes, river valleys, and meadows, standing as a symbol of perseverance and protection.
