  1. I took these #cuttings in late summer, but unfortunately did not note what they were from. I would guess they are #Crataegus, but I am surprised by the size of the leaves and the absence of thorns. Something from the edge of the forest/wild hedges, eastern France. Native species are C. monogyna, C. laevigata, C. rhipidophylla etc.

    Can it be a crataegus? (More in alt texts. I don't need the exact species because of hybridisations.)

  2. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). If you see white flowers on a bush in spring in the UK, it’s usually Hawthorn or Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa). Blackthorn flowers earlier on bare branches, Hawthorn flowers later after its leaves have already sprouted. It smells like almonds mixed with fish. #WildflowerHour #Crataegus #Hawthorn

  3. A North American Hawthorn about to come into leaf. It's a gift from a friend of mine, as he fled Brexit and left his trees behind. No idea what species it is, I really ought to look it up. Or, I could sit by it a while and spend some quality time together.
