Buckthorn, Tallhedge MS

Tallhedge MS is a cultivar of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) that is commonly used as a hedging plant in landscaping. The plant is known for its dense, upright growth habit and glossy, dark green foliage. The leaves are typically small and elliptical in shape, and are borne alternately along the stems.

Tallhedge MS is a relatively fast-growing shrub that can reach a height of 12 to 15 feet and a spread of 8 to 10 feet at maturity. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, but is adaptable to a wide range of soil types and growing conditions. The plant is also known for its tolerance of drought and poor soil conditions.

While buckthorn cultivars like Tallhedge MS are often used in landscaping, it's important to note that common buckthorn is considered an invasive species in many areas, particularly in North America. As such, it's important to check with your local authorities before planting buckthorn in your area, and to take steps to prevent it from spreading into natural areas.
