WOW! This is a very impressive tree. How long has this been in training? Do you have any pictures with no leaves? Love the powerful trunk and nebari.

Its grim just north of Watford

Very Happy

I think HH is London suburbs way these days so even a few miles may make a difference.

Two of my hawthorns (inc below) are more or less in full leaf (both collected down south) and two are just starting to leaf out (both ex Wigan/ex Harry) so they do seem to vary - maybe based on where they where collected from.

Wasn't this on another thread? i.e. Welsh/Scottish collected trees being behind

Do trees have genetic memory?
