What to do with a Hawthorn
This is a fantastic Hawthorn that John Harris has had a small hand in over the years, it having been collected over 30 years ago. It is owned by a bonsai enthusiast in Swansea. The top of the tree has been allowed to get away and the question is what to do?

The next 2 pics give some options of where it could be cut to re grow a new apex

What to do with a Hawthorn
Hi Chris,
Lovely hawthorn!
If this is not a hawthorn and it is in my country, I would suggest that you keep that top and develop it for its crown.But then, , I think I would go for the last pic.
Best wishes,

Re: What to do with a Hawthorn
Hi Chris,
The gnarled appearance and dramatic re-curved trunkline would seem to mitigate against building some kind of classical neat, triangular apex on what wants to be a low, battered upland tree imo.
Rough virt attached and I might even be tempted to take the entire vertical branch/trunk extention off flush to keep, the tree low and spreading.
fwiw

P.S. btw you may have seen that I haven't quite destroyed those 2 larch yet
