do you want a hawthorn.

I have a hawthorn tree in a pot and it is about 4 ft. or so tall. It doesn't seem to like the said pot and I think it needs to go in the ground. It never flowers and the leaves are fairly sparse. It is not deseased and you are welcome to give it a good home.

Please contact me if interest :( ed.

 

my tree is still up for grabs. Free.

 

Sorry not for me - I got them but I would highly recommend them - great for spring and winter colour til the birds strip the berries. Great small tree.

 

Hawthorn, or May Flower as I prefer, has deliciously scented blossom, a beautifull leaf and some pretty viscious thorns that will deter intruders if planted in a hege or 'at risk' area. Unfortunately for me, all the gardens I work in regularly have self set seedlings crop up so I have to pull them before the roots get a good hold. They are small trees with deep roots so will be cramped in a pot athough you could grow them as a Bonsi.

There are also red and pink flowered varieties (Crataegus laevigata 'Paul�s Scarlet', a double, is a cracker!)which make excellent, well shaped specimens and The 'Glastonbury Thorn' (Monogyna Praecox) which flowers around Christmas time.

If it had been a blackthorn and a bottle of Gin ...

 

I would love to give it a good home, hawthorn is one of my very favourite trees .. but it might cost hugely to get it from you to Scotland. :(

If it's still looking for love tho' I'll ask the company who transport horses up here regularly if they'd stick a tree in for me ... they brought me Frizzle bantams once for the price of a bottle of whisky
