But this spring we were foraging around early June where there are some nice big hawthorn bushes, and mum spotted some tiny weeny saplings growing through the grass! They were hidden under the bushes, and usually any saplings get eaten by the wildies around there, but these were literally 2 tiny leaves on each one, so we dug them up and bought them home, and put them in the pots with some rough soil as compost is too rich, and for weeks and weeks they did nothing, and this last couple of weeks they have suddenly decided to grow

And now that they are growing, we went to Wyevale garden centre the other day, and found hawthorn trees for sale And only £6.00 each! So we bought 2

But of you look on ebay you can actually buy hawthorn saplings, as they sell them as hedging plants
