Where to buy blackthorn seedlings or prebonsai?

[Pine_nut]

I live in the US and none of the nurseries I’ve visited carry blackthorn trees. Is there a source that sells seedlings or prebonsai that I can order?

This listing is for “fresh dried” berries, I would think you can just plant the seeds.

Don't know why you're after this--there are superior, more easily obtained, prunus species to work on in the U.S.

You are being redirected...

Also worth noting that this species was declared invasive in natural areas in the Pacific Northwest, so that may be why it's not more readily available in the U.S.

Did you have any luck with this? I picked up some berries last year, but haven't been able to locate a source for cuttings or plants either. Definitely #1 on my list to get.

I have not found a good source.

I was able to get my saplings from Forestfarm© (when they still had them in stock) and my seed from Sheffield's Seed Co. Inc.©
