This Blackthorn was found on the cliffs of Silverdale. It is relatively large shrub compared with other species around. The flowers are often mistaken with the Wild cherry, however the form of the plant is very different. The flowers and its petals instantly fell apart when touched. The tree seemed to be satisfied with the overall conditions it was growing in and it was dominating in the local area although there was almost no topsoil.
