I bought this Hawthorn from a club member ( Mario) as a stock tree back in 2012. He had dug this up at a Goulburn Club dig.
At this stage I am still working on the apex branching.
I call it ''Mario's Hawthorn'' and hope he likes the result so far. Probably not his vision of the tree.
Regards,
Peter

Re: Here is another Hawthorn
Coming along nicely Peter. Glad you removed the top deadwood Jin
Has it flowered and fruited for you yet.
Mine took about 8 years of pot culture before i was rewarded.

Hi Bodhi,
No flowers or fruit yet. Still waiting for those branches I need to complete the design concept.As you know it is a slow process.

Re: Here is another Hawthorn
Nice work indeed and agree with Shibui re excising the top deadwood. Great base root distribution - natural or the result of layering?
