Hi Ashley, do you think Hawthorn is a good candidate for a winter cutting? I'm pretty sure it's a Scarlet Hawthorn. Thank you for your delightful newsletter!
I've never tried to propagate hawthorn, and information is pretty spotty here. It's hard to say, since it's kind of a tree...kind of a shrub. As best I can find searching online is that it's very hard to propagate from cuttings, and that grafting is more dependable (but still not a great success rate). Most everything says grow from seed.
I would think because it is in the apple family, i think, it would prop like apples, but more predictable. (they're alreadly small fruits). Found this as well though
Hawthorns are best planted when dormant, from autumn to spring, as bare-root trees or hedging plants. ... The best method of propagating hawthorns is from seed, saved from the haws or berries. It takes a long time, but start by mashing the berries to extract the seed and mix with sand.
This was by far the most absolutely fantastic blog I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this email. I'm going to try propagating blueberries and growing a lemon tree. Great ideas.
thank you for writing about your experiences! i thoroughly enjoy reading your newsletters.
You're quite welcome! Glad to have you here =)
