Everywhere you look… Buckthorn. It invades your feed just like it invades our forest. If we can identify, cut, treat, and replace buckthorn, that’s a great start.

Did you know buckthorn tends to keep its leaves longer into our frozen winters than native species? Late fall/early winter is an excellent time to identify and mark buckthorn for your removal projects. By taking the time to detect it now, you can help slow its spread. #chanhassen #buckthorn #invasivespecies | City of Chanhassen, Minnesota Government

Common buckthorn from Europe (Rhamnus cathartica) and glossy/alder buckthorn from East Asia (Frangula alnus syn. Rhamnus frangula) are considered invasive in most states in the US. The designation of “invasive” comes from individual states and it signifies a plant’s ability to crowd out native plants, spread quickly and negatively impact the ecosystem.
