MNL Buckthorn Replacement Mix
Designed to revegetate woodland areas following the removal of established buckthorn colonies
Plant after buckthorn removal to restore native grasses and provide fuel for prescribed burning. After buckthorn seedlings are managed, this mix can be enhanced with a forb component. Each seed mix order will ship with an appropriate amount of cover crop seed for the project area – species of cover crop seed will depend on the time of year the product is ordered (if you have a delayed planting time in mind, please indicate that in a note at check out).
