"When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious." ...Edna O'Brien

Blackthorn is very sturdy but light-weight. Perfect for health and leisure walking, collecting, or as a decorative piece. No two are alike, each interesting and unique, designed by nature herself.

"...the Blackthorn tree dwells along the boundaries of forests and woodlands all throughout Ireland. Growing in dark, dense, impenetrable thickets of twisted branches, armed with long wicked thorns, the Blackthorn’s 12 foot hedgerows are a “living wall” providing protection from intruders who must risk cutting through the vicious thorny bramble..."

Rating: Excellent
Comments: I looked long and hard for reasonably-priced, authentic Irish blackthorn shillelagh, and those offered by LollySmith were about the nicest I found. Their Web site is by far the best organized and helpful, giving buyers the ability to closely examine the companys inventory, view photographs, and then select the SPECIFIC stick or sticks they wish to purchase.

The customer service at LollySmith is also first-rate. I placed my order for items needed for an event very last-minute, and these folks went out of their way to make sure that everything got to me on time. That sort of special attention and willingness to go the extra mile is something of a rare find these days, especially amongst Internet vendors. I was very pleased with the whole experience, and recommend them enthusiastically...C. Temple - Georgia.
