Large collected hawthorn

[cottie]

Last year whilst collecting some smaller hawthorns from a friends farm I found this larger tree and prepared it for collection. Back at the end of July I returned with some help and after a fair bit of blood sweat and almost tears I managed to dig it out. I don't think my wife was very impressed that we now have another hawthorn in the back yard, it was a bit big to sneak it in with out her noticing.

The tree is around 1m tall, the hard part will be trying to find a pot for it in tassie

Great score. The old bark and the movement add great value to this yamadori.
After it has rested for a good while, please keep us informed about its progress.

Thanks guys. Watto I think you are partially to blame for my addiction to digging hawthorns, it was your post about digging hawthorns that prompted me to start looking for somewhere to dig.

Thanks Cottie, I'm counting that as a success!
