Often it is a small tree but if it is damaged, it sprouts from the base and continues life as a shrub. The small flowers are yellow-green and the berries ripen from green through red to black. They attract birds, so new shrubs spread widely. In fertile moist soils and good light the buckthorn develops into a beautiful, small, slender-branched tree with a round crown. The wood is a bright orange.<\/p>\n<p>The bark, leaves and berries of the buckthorn are used in dying wool, producing delightful shades. Traditionally the bark has been used to treat constipation. It was collected from finger-thick shoots, dried, and stored for at least a year before use.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: We do not recommend trying this at home, because all parts of the buckthorn are poisonous.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhamnus<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhamnus frangula<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8036,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1095,1593],"class_list":["post-15484","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kasvilajit-deciduous_trees_and_shrubs","kasvilajit-rhamnus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15484"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
