“I’m surprised that we don’t have any Hawthorns on our property. Gonna ask Mr. Wonderful about adding some.”
Don’t do it. The thorns are positively wicked, and can puncture a big, expensive tractor tire.
I just answered a message from another FReeper - Beau says NO, so it’s a no-go for us, too.
However, the plus side of the Hawthorn is that the thorny trunk/limbs keeps predators away from songbird nests, so I think it’s probably best to just let Mother Nature take it from here. ;)
