Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

# Sea Buckthorn#

A grey green shrub with monster thorns. This is the ultimate barrier hedge if you share a boundary with an unlikable neighbour. It's also a good wildlife shrub. The berries provide food, and the thorns discourage any predator larger than a weasel.

The berries are full of antioxidants, but from experience, my hands were bleeding after half an hour.

The shrub has interesting possibilities for decoration, especially if receiving visits from small grabby children. Spray painted black they would be good halloween decorations.

Buckthorn suckers. Given it's antisocial nature, it's best planted where you can mow close.
