I cut about 100 feet of buckthorn down, poisoned its stumps, wrapped it in a tarp, shoved it in my van, and disposed of its corpse in an undisclosed location. I’m doing my part
America is beseiged, brothers! Surrounded from all sides! Patriots in the South battle the evil kudzu while the North battles buckthorn. We must stand together!
No, I’m not a plant Nazi, what are you even talking about, this is just biology. “Sublimating my baser impulses” - I don’t know what that means. Is that “sublime-ating” like “making it sublime”? Because this feels awesome. Hahahaha, cut them, poison them, burn them, kill them all— uh, *for the ecosystem*.
Fucking buckthorn tearing my ass apart every goddamned November. And it always when you think you’ve found the perfect sitting spot that a thorn in your ass.
> Yes, buckthorn is dangerous. It grows at the edges of forests and creates an impenetrable thicket of gnarly, twisting branches. Underneath its deceiving foliage hide sharp thorns!
Well, yeah. It's a plant of English woodlands, where it's held back by all the other fast-growing spiky buggers.
I’ve been fighting this stuff for 30 years. But it has a safe space in a local state park. And you can probably guess about how much the DNR budget gets cut every stinking year in Iowa.

You need to get some goats. Goats will eat it.
Goats are our allies! Befriend the goats! Pet the goats! Feed the goats! 🐐
Goats are the answer.
Yes!!! Now do bellflower! My mom thinks it's pretty. I'm trying to train her that it's actually hideous
Do not be deceived!
A barrier is victory to me a natural barrier total victory. I shall ally with it this very year;

I actually have Norway Spruce as my emerging natural barrier . I shall not disturb it with Buckthorn.

Last year we cut down all the buckthorns and replaced them with hibiscuses. Total victory.

Did a buckthorn clearing and burn day with my local forest preserve. Easily the most powerful I’ve ever felt.
Burn them! 🔥

Oh wow did not know about this. Like Kudzu with thorns.
Kudzu—buckthorn's ally in their attempt to undermine American sovereignty!

Our government betrays us! Take matters into your own hands!
You have my sword!

I’ve dealt with buckthorn before. Not a fun plant. Don’t procrastinate on their removal - the longer you wait, the more annoying it gets.
The defense of our homeland cannot be delayed!
