Blackthorn
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Sloe berries: small, round, blue-black with a heavy bloom. Intensely astringent raw — traditionally harvested after the first frost, which breaks down tannins. Best used for sloe gin or jelly. Spiny branches — wear gloves when harvesting.
At top of hill go straight on this is public footpath through driveway to farmhouse. Blackthorn (sloe) bushes are just inside the boundary wall, on right hand side. There are a few more on the way up the hill and to the right along Clay Lane.
