Default Blackthorn hedging

Does anyone know where Blackthorn can be purchased, also please how

long it
would take to become established.


There is not much to choose from between blackthorn and hawthorn
establishing themselves, but blackthorn will happily propagate itself
via root and seed to give a much denser hedge in the long run.

I should try yellow pages for 'tree and hedge nurseries'.

Of course, if its the berries that you are hoping to harvest, then
that will take several years on bushes that are best left untrimmed.
