I love this time of year when the newly collected stock starts to thrust out fresh growth. There is always a big sense of excitement and anticipation as to whether the tree has recovered from the stress of collecting and transplanting. Here is a Hawthorn that has started to throw out new shoots from a major cut. I always let newly collected stock thrive unchecked for two years before any work is started.
I will be posting photos of all the new stock from June onwards. Over 150 trees including Prunus Spinosa, Crataegus, Cotoneaster, Taxus and Scots Pine.
Tony, could you, please, post some photos of what you do with major cuts on hawthorns?
Thanks!
I simply make the big cuts and never put wound sealant on, these trees are really tough :0
Sorry, what I ment was how do you make those cuts look better when you style the tree? 🙂
I will make a blog post in the next week or so concerning this… thanks for your interest
