Fungi found on dying buckthorn could control the highly invasive species
University of Minnesota researchers are studying the use of fungi as a tool to control invasive buckthorn, a problematic species that crowds out native plants and persistently degrades forests in the Midwest and Northeast.
David McFarlane#Buckthorn removal "party" this morning.
Ross of OttawaIn other news - when chipping #buckthorn branches, those things really fight back. My forearms are very well scratched up.
That weed of a tree grows branches at crazy angles and they're always grabbing at you, hoping to kill you for fertilizer.
interestingly though, I found the wood to be rather nice for carving - though you don't often have a piece big enough to do much with.
Joined with neighbors to remove more #buckthorn from along a neighborhood trail.

Kristoffer Lawson#Finland has a wonderful tradition of #berryWine that is all but forgotten by the mainstream. Indeed the state monopoly, #Alko, has an extensive selection of regular #wine, but almost no #Finnish berry wines.
I actually preferred this red, by #Pihamaa, to most red wines (but that’s because the heavy tannins give me a headache), and it worked well with our #Easter meal. You can also get heavier berry wines.
On the left you can see a #sparklingWine, also by Pihamaa, made from #buckthorn.
