Buckthorn is on the list of invasive species with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The Northfield Garden Club is sponsoring a Buckthorn Eradication Day this Saturday at the Hauberg Woods in Northfield. They’ll be having a session in the morning and one in the afternoon. They will be demonstrating various techniques on removal and recognition of this plant. Buckthorn is an aggressive plant, choking out the other vegetation nearby. It is a plant that is very easily recognized now in the fall as it stays green well past when other plants have gone dormant. It has a bluish/black berry as well. The birds will feast on these berries in the fall and winter and this then helps to spread buckthorn all over. We all need to do our best at helping get rid of Buckthorn.
