Its young shoots, known as blackthorn whips, are particularly valued for creating dense, impenetrable hedges, thanks to their thorny branches. In early spring, blackthorn bursts into life with a profusion of small, white blossoms, offering one of the first nectar sources for pollinators. Later in the year, it produces dark blue-black fruits, or sloes, which are popular in foraging and traditionally used to make sloe gin. Thriving in a wide range of soils and conditions, blackthorn is highly adaptable and provides excellent shelter and nesting sites for birds. Its hardiness and natural beauty make it a staple in traditional and wildlife-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/derwenwholesale.co.uk\/guide-to-planting-hedges\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGUIDE TO PLANTING HEDGES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for more info.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"30-40cm  - Bundles of 10","offer_id":51242189193546,"sku":"prun-spin-br-1","price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"40-60cm  - Bundles of 10","offer_id":51242189226314,"sku":"prun-spin-br-2","price":7.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"60-80cm  - Bundles of 10","offer_id":51242189259082,"sku":"prun-spin-br-3","price":8.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"80-100cm  - Bundles of 10","offer_id":51242189291850,"sku":"prun-spin-br-4","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"100-120cm  - Bundles of 10","offer_id":51242189324618,"sku":"prun-spin-br-5","price":15.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/0776\/1994\/files\/d70b7847-prunus-spinosa-blackthorn-sloe-bareroot-available-november-t-1509722279_src.png?v=1751880809"},{"product_id":"rosa-canina-dog-rose-bareroot","title":"Rosa canina (Dog Rose) - Bareroot - Bundles of 10","description":"\u003cp\u003eRosa canina, commonly known as the Dog Rose, is a graceful, deciduous climbing shrub native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa.
