buckthorn

Buckthorn is essentially eradicating native Big Woods forest, transforming forest that comprises an open understory with high canopies into dense tangles of buckthorn that choke out anything else.

One particularly common invasive species is Buckthorn that will choke out more desirable trees like Oaks which grow slowly.

The problem isn't with buckthorn per se, it's in the destruction that it causes on native ecosystems.

A solution to buckthorn overgrowth can't come soon enough because mechanical solutions, while effective, are very laborious.

If the buckthorn was just here or there, an addition to the landscape, it might be fine, but it's not.

There is actually a native plant 'sea buckthorn' with fruits that are very orange coloured.

It also can absolutely grow to tree size, and I’ve found areas with a lot of buckthorn have significantly more mosquitoes.

I guessed this might be buckthorn, but no cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from the article: "At the nanoscale, CNCs are stronger and stiffer than Kevlar.

Our worst bush/tree invader is Buckthorn, but Honeysuckle is right behind it.

Buckthorn in the US is very resilient, crowds out other species of both undergrowth and trees, and is a host to a number of pests such as aphids and fungi which will then attack crops and native species.
