Training hawthorn bonsai. For bonsai it has a number of good characteristics. One interesting fact is that the buds of hawthorn are not determined. The hawthorn is plant that grows like a shrub in most cases and it takes many years to develop thick trunks. Pruning hints would include to pinch out the terminal shoots in spring or reduce the length of the shoot by but avoid doing this too soon as you may loose the flowers.

The root system was seriously damaged. After being spotted the tree was chopped back significantly and left to recover. This case study shows a hawthorn found in a forest and trained into a raft style bonsai tree.

Typical styles for hawthorn as bonsai include most styles with the exception of broom and formal uprights. About a year later the tree responded well and started growing strongly again. This case study shows the collection of a hawthorn tree and its training as a double trunk style bonsai. Prune harder at the top of the tree and less lower down.
