Buckthorn Facts

  • Buckthorn is an invasive plant that will take over an entire area it infests. Buckthorn has no predator that will keep it under control. It will take over a yard or wetland that has native plants by taking all of the nutrients that the native plants need to survive. It makes it very difficult for new plants to grow. It will turn a nice backyard or wetland into a buckthorn wasteland!

  • Buckthorn is a plant with leaves that have deep, prominent veins. The leaves are glossy and form across from each other. It will have a thorn at the tip of the twig. The bark is gray and smooth when it is young and will change to more rough and flakey when it is older. This link will give you pictures and more for Identification

  • Buckthorn is an invasive plant that needs to be managed over a 3 to 5 year time frame. The reason for this is because the seed from a female plant can last for years after an area has been cleaned out. A plan needs to be set up to make sure that the area is still maintained, even after the initial removal. A plan will be based on how much buckthorn is in an area. The more buckthorn and the larger the area, the more it will need to be managed.

    The first step would be to remove all of the large buckthorn and saplings. This would take place in year 1 by cutting and spraying the large plants and pulling out any saplings in the area.

    The second step it to maintain. Maintaining means making sure that the large plants are not growing back. If they are growing back they will need to be cut again and sprayed again. The other main aspect to maintaining is pulling any new saplings that may sprout from seedlings that were already in the ground. The maintaining process will occur in the second, third and fourth year after the initial large buckthorn is removed.

    Buckthorn Management can be done by individual home owners or by someone who is a licensed professional. Ultimate Tree Pros is the Buckthorn Management Professionals

“We live on a lake that has a very steep shore. The shore was covered with brush and we were unable to see the lake. We contacted Justin at Ultimate Tree pros and had them remove all of the brush from our house to the lakeshore. It was AMAZING! Now we can see the lake and enjoy the view we never knew we had!”

“We had an area that was probably 100 x 100 full of brush that was not going to be a fun “project”. Ultimate tree pros came in, quoted the project and had all of the brush removed the same week! We were able to see an area that we had never seen since we had moved into the house!”
