Buckthorn trees hate

I should sit down and make a serious entry about buckthorn trees, but for now I just want to make a little rant.

They have berries, but they give birds the shits when they eat them, so they'll only eat them as a last resort. They have thorns, as the name implies, and they're massive, nasty thorns. They are an invasive non-native, and push out other growth that belongs here. And now we find that the damned shit wood even stinks when it's burned. Sent Eor into a nasty coughing fit last night.
