This is a funny thread... Vodoo gives good ideas for alternative plants. I know I can learn a thing or two from ya. Buckthorn is one of the worst offenders in messing up the shapliness of hedges/plantings. When pruning we remove the 3 D's first thing (dead, diseased, damaged). In reality we remove The 3 D's and B - to include Buckthorn or any other weedy plant growth that is considered foreign to our plantings like volunteers, etc. I never understood why anyone would plant buckthorn particularly when someone told me that it will only live 15 or so years. I don't know the particulars - but what a horrible plant. I love getting a new customer with lots of pruning - we sure do remove a fair bit of buckthorn.
