Besides being very thorny, they are quite susceptible to rust and then they
make a real mess.

Hi,
We're considering several trees to put into our back yard. Among them is
the hawthorn which seems to have several things going for it -- pretty
flowers, nice color in the fall, fruit that is attractive to birds, and
reasonable size.

We're in zone 5,by the way.

However, one site I found says that the flowers have an unpleasant odor.
Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks
Patricia
