Description

Ceanothus americanus, commonly known as American buckthorn or New Jersey tea, is a deciduous shrub native to the eastern United States. This plant is renowned for its adaptability to a range of soil types and its tolerance to drought once established. It typically grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet and features a rounded form with dense, small, dark green leaves. In late spring to early summer, Ceanothus americanus produces clusters of small, white to pale pink flowers, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

American buckthorn is valued not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its ecological benefits. Its roots help stabilize soil and prevent erosion, while its foliage provides habitat and food for various wildlife species. Additionally, the plant has historical significance; its leaves were used by early American settlers as a substitute for tea, which is how it earned the common name "New Jersey tea." This hardy shrub is often used in landscaping for its ability to thrive in challenging conditions and its low-maintenance requirements.
