[IBC] Dotted Hawthorn
I have access to a nice Dotted Hawthorn (Crataegus punctata) sometimes called "Thicket Hawthorn. Has anyone had success with this type of Hawthorn? I am currently in the evaluation stage, it will be at least another year before I collect it. Any advice
is welcome.

[IBC] Dotted Hawthorn
I have access to a nice Dotted Hawthorn (Crataegus punctata) sometimes
called "Thicket Hawthorn. Has anyone had success with this type of Hawthorn? Hawthorn is one of those yes-and-no types. There are some English hawthorn bonsai around, mainly 'Paul's Scarlet' and 'Punicea' (syn. "Crimson Cloud"). They were grown in Japan for pre-bonsai and Bill imported them a couple of years ago. I bought one and it is absolutely delightful, no trouble, and blooms like crazy. It needs a little spraying to keep pests & diseases away. On the other hand, I bought a Washington thorn several years ago. It was rather obstinate. I thread grafted it and planted it in the ground, but it died. A few years ago I collected a hawthorn in a vacant lot. While I was growing it on in the ground, it picked up several diseases. Finally it came down with a horrible gall disorder, so I threw it out. My suggestion would be to watch your potential bonsai for rust and other diseases, and spray it now before you collect it. Since galls in the Rosaceae are usually usually bacterial, there isn't much you can do except keep the tree healthy.
