Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Butcher's Broom in suburbia Butcher's broom is a member of the lily family despite its appearance. The spiky-looking leaves are actually flattened stems (cladodes). It is a characteristic species of ancient woodlands (rather than suburban gardens), so I was rather surprised to find it growing in the rather stony soil between our house and next door. I would like to think that it was there as a hangover from the days when south-east Essex was covered in ancient wildwood. However, it probably was bird-sown, the birds being fond of those juicy-looking berries. There are ancient woodlands within a few hundred metres of our garden.
