About. Purging Buckthorn, sometimes simply known as just 'Buckthorn', is a small, spiny tree of woodland, scrub and hedgerows on chalky soils. It is widespread, but scarce, across the lowland areas of central and eastern England.lusters of small yellow-green flowers appear in late spring and bunches of poisonous black berries ripen in autumn. Purging Buckthorn is the main foodplant of the Brimstone Butterfly in the areas where it grows, but Alder Buckthorn is used as an alternative.
If you have a large infestation of buckthorn on your property with both old and young plants, this is a long term effort to remove and may involve a 5 year commitment on your part. If you work diligently, each year the amount of buckthorn will be reduced. The first two years are when you will have the most work.If you have Buckthorn that measures 2.5 in diameter or less, you can rent or purchase a special tool called a Weed Wrench that will help you pull the plants out of the ground.or some time, people thought that only Common Buckthorn was a problem, but Glossy Buckthorn (including the cultivars called Columnar or Tallhedge and Fern-Leaf) will also produce seeds and be invasive-particularly in more moist habitats.
