Seven Ways to Effectively Remove Buckthorn
Pictured below are some Shorewood properties that rank high in “urban forest management.” Why? Owners have removed the buckthorn and yet, preserved a diverse native tree population.
The approach to buckthorn management can vary based on local conditions and the specific characteristics of the invaded ecosystem. The root ball is compact. Sharp shovels and/or hatchets can be used. A weed “wrench” is available for use (with a deposit) at Shorewood City Hall. See this video for removal tips.
Let us know your preferred method when tackling this invader, in the comments section below.
