Hello,
I am planning on doing some soil remed on old eroded hay fields. Soil staking is one such method I will use. It’s silty Loam in upper Midwest with hardwood forest being dominant. I will use some fast breaking down species like aspen and birch but we have lots of buckthorn all around these parts .

Does anyone know if buckthorn will re-sprout if staked like a willow might?

I think I will also cut and allow stakes to dry out 3-4 weeks to minimize chances of resprouting.

My intuition tells me buckthorn is not a resprouter.
Things that sucker and form thickets I think would be in this category.

Thank you for any feedback

Hi, Nick

I looked for some threads that might help with your question.  What I found is that there are several plants with this name. Which is yours?
