[IBC] FOUND!! A Parslie leafed Hawthorn
Hi all,
I finally found some on my very own property!!! They were hiding under a youpon plant and somehow I just had missed them..lol.. There appear to be 3 individual plants together, I hope so.. The tallest is about 18" - 2 ' tall, and the others are much smaller. Now, My question is this, As fall is right around the corner, do I wait to dig them up and pot them, or should I go ahead while they have their leaves on them, so I can tell if they stay alive..lol.... Should I cut the roots if I dig them up? To repot them? all help greatly appreciated... Barb in Zone 9 in Southeast Texas PS. I also have one other type of Hawthorn.. it has oval slightly serritated leaves and thorns about 2" long.. and berries the resemble small rose hips...these are all large trees, when do you take the hips to plant for new trees and when do you plant them? Thanks again, Barb ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Lisa Kanis++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Should I cut the roots if I dig them up? To repot them? all help greatly appreciated... Hawthorn can be VERY tricky to dig successfully. WAIT until eary spring! If you found 3 trunks close together, I'd guess they all come from the same root. You will want to start digging well away from them to find out. Get as much root as humanly possible, doing as little damages as possible. I'd recommend planting them back into the ground and leaving them alone for a year or two before putting them into a large TRAINING pot for a few more years. PS. I also have one other type of Hawthorn.. it has oval slightly serritated leaves and thorns about 2" long.. and berries the resemble small rose hips...these are all large trees, when do you take the hips to plant for new trees and when do you plant them? Watch the trees. When the berries start to fall, that's when you plant them. It may take a couple of years to germinate. Dirr says to soak DRY haw seeds in acid (he doesn't say which) for 2-3 hours then warm stratified for 120 days at 70-77 degrees F, followed by 135 days at 41 degrees F. This is for C. crusgalli; other species don't require the acid bath, but DO require the hot/cold treatment. C. crusgalli sounds a bit like what you have, though Haws are the most difficult plants to differentiate. I wouldn't go to all the trouble to grow haws from seed. I have never had a cutting take. The best way to get a hawthorn is to buy one from a nursery that sells native plants.

safest way is to dig a trench around each one and leave them in their
original position. Place a marker near each so you can find it in the spring. It should be like eating apple pie to pot them up then.

The best way to get a hawthorn is to buy one from a nursery that sells native plants. Barb - Parsley hawthorn is easily located in such nurseries in Southeast Texas as it is, indeed, one of our native species. In Houston, you can find them at, amongst others, Buchanan's Nursery in Houston, a small nursery specializing in native plants. It is one of our favorite nurseries, so if you are in this area, please give them your patronage. As for those on your property, parsley hawthorn is also a fabulous understory tree - quite beautiful in spring * and a favorite of birds and butterflies - we have one we purchased from Buchanan's in a place of honor in our yard. I would recommend leaving yours alone and buying a nice one for training. Blake in Houston |
