Sloe Berries (tree, plants, sale, invasive)

[Elke Mariotti]

Does anybody know where I can get/buy a blackthorn bush (prunus spinosa)??

I can't find them anywhere. Someone on the GardenWeb forum found it at Oikos Tree Crops, but it's not currently on the order list.

Dave's Garden lists one vendor with the plants for sale, Forestfarm in Oregon, but they're not offering it at the moment.

This may have something to do with it being non-native and is considered invasive.

Thanks for checking; I knew it was non-native, but never heard that it's invasive
But heck, what about bamboo--non-native and certainly invasive !! And you find it everywhere...

I love the berries and would like to have my own crop...
