hawthorne cuttings/idenification
«

I want to plant some hawthorn bushes in my mum's garden next year (2005) so was intending to sneakily (slap wrist) take some hardwood cuttings from roadside hedges this winter. However, now I can't work out what's hawthorne and what's not. Anyone have any ideas, or could send me some cuttings even (I'll pay postage)?

Sorry did not read this earlier. Sadly Hawthorn does not come from cuttings, If you want plants you would have to sow some berries about now.

Bare rooted Hawthorn plants can be bought for about 80p a plant Look in Garden News or Gardeners World Mag adverts.
Sdaly they do not produce suckers either, Teresa. And yes they do have thorns hence thorn and red fruit, haws hence hawthorn and before the weather went wonky they flowered in May hence May blossom. And if you have ever cut a hawthorn hedge you would give it one or two other names also.

I think this is where the saying "ne'er cast a clout till may is out" comes from as well, don't take off your warm clothes until the hawthorn is in blossom!

Breaking buds ie just showing white are edible, no discernable taste to me though.

The whole of our right hand hedge is hawthorn...........pain is treading on one of the thorns whilst wandering our in the garden barefooted!! And Eric is quite right about the cutting of it.goes through leather gloves with ease! Our local bird population love it though ;D ;D ;D DP
