How does blackthorn propagate?

Answer 1

Blackthorn primarily propagates through seeds and vegetative means. The seeds can be dispersed by birds and other animals that consume the fruit, leading to germination in suitable conditions. Additionally, blackthorn can propagate vegetatively through root suckers, where new shoots emerge from the root system, allowing the plant to spread and establish new plants nearby. This dual method of propagation ensures its resilience and ability to colonize various habitats.
