The number 1 RULE: Water your trees when the soil gets slightly dry. |
Training of a Hawthorn after being collected from a forest.
Picture 1.
The hawthorn, around 3 meter (10ft) tall, was collected from the forest. The trunk was very
straight, had no branching and had little going for it other than some quite mature bark.
The tree was planted into a shallow terracotta container and left to recover.
Picture 2.
One year and a half later, the trunk was cut back to 12 cm (4’’) and a short, hollow trunk was created..
Picture 3.
The tree recovered well from chopping and the trunk could be carved out. The
new shoots were regularly pruned back to create the branch structure. Training
the tree took 5 years.
