Midwesterner checking in - whats the problem with buckthorn?

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Ding dang invasive species that kills off native plants.

I've heard it can go pretty insane and overrun areas. Plus it rhizomes so it is hard to eradicate. I planted some sea buckthorn here (not the Midwest) a couple years ago and it is still small, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I like the berries. They taste strong, like you're eating a vitamin.

Didn't know they had berries! Thanks for the info!

I'm only familiar with sea buckthorn and it's bright golden orange berries. I know they are safe to eat. Idk about the purple ones.

Don’t eat the invasive, sweet, diarrhea-causing buckthorn berry. Instead eat the native, acrid, “more antioxidants than a bar of 100% dark chocolate” chokeberry.
