Wild plum, blackthorn bush has been known for a long time. This plant is mentioned in fairy tales and legends of Britain and Europe. Blue fruits with a waxy coating served as food and the basis for drinks. Thorny thickets of blackthorn serve as a refuge for small animals, in the grass growing near such thickets you can notice rabbit trails. Blackthorn fruits are tart to the taste, but after the onset of cold weather they become sweet. In the autumn season, my great-grandmother prepared a wonderful liqueur from wild blackthorn fruits. But woe to those who collected these fruits. Blackthorn thorns know no mercy. In the modern world, we know new types of blackthorn plums that originated from wild thorny bushes. To this day, jams, sauces and drinks are made from blackthorn fruits.

The delicate aroma of rose hips has always been one of the signs of spring for me. And the bright red fruits on graphic thorny branches are a symbol of autumn.
The ancestor of the famous rose, rose hips are difficult to overestimate. From ancient times to this day, rose hips are used in medicine, for the production of vitamin tea, sweets and cosmetics.
