Rhamnus cathartica (Buckthorn, Common Buckthorn or Purging Buckthorn), is a species in the family Rhamnaceae, native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia, from the central British Isles south to Morocco, and east to Kyrgyzstan.

 

It is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 6–8 m tall, with grey-brown bark and spiny branches. The leaves are elliptic to oval, 2.5–9 cm long and 1.2–3.5 cm broad; they are green, turning yellow in autumn, and are arranged somewhat variably in opposite to subopposite pairs or alternately. The flowers are yellowish-green, with four petals; they are dioecious and insect pollinated. The fruit is a globose black drupe 6–10 mm diameter containing two to four seeds.

    Common Buckthorn

    Posted by Peter Watkins on 21st Feb 2021

    I purchased this plant to add to the trees in my small urban garden. It was well packed and appears to now be budding up so hopefully once the weather has turned it will start growing. The bare root instructions given on the Beechwood site were excellent and very helpful as I had never purchase bare rooted plants before. Would thoroughly recommend the site to anyone.
