The Blackthorn Tree (Prunus spinosa) is a deciduous spiny bushy tree typically found in hedgerows and very hardy, able to survive drought periods. The tree is one of the earliest flowerings in Spring, producing pale pink flowers from early to middle Spring, followed in late August with blue-black berries that attract birds and other wildlife. The berries are also essential for making Sloe Gin, with harvesting traditionally occurring in October or November after the initial frost. With your tree, you’ll receive a recipe so you can enjoy your very own homemade Sloe Gin.
Packaged carefully and delivered in a 3 litre pot at the height of between 50cm and 75cm, our tree gift makes the ideal eco friendly present.
