Hawthorn in the spring, (photo R) If you can find
this tree at a nursery they are a nice tree. but flowers
are not like a rose just the thorns. Still
birds love this tree. As best that I can describe
it it's like a magnolia with smaller flowers
and very big thorns. I mow a steep hill and
this tree is at the base of it, after hitting low
branches and looking like I've been in a fight
with a cat I've trimmed them up so that I don't
have to worry about poking an eye out.
