Re: Blood poisoning and blackthorn

Like everything else Common sense prevails.. I run this thread to get some common sense answers to a "comment on Gardeners world that this plant is not recommended for garden use"...

I have three of these plants I have never had a problem with them. They are next to a fence not sticking out where you are likely to get pricked.
Maybe I should have worded it better.

Hi Ron, they used to put horse manure on roses.That's where the tetanus came from. Everyone used to run and get the poo in buckets when the rag and bone man came round with his horse and cart.

She may not have died of tetanus at all.
