Re:Dotted Hawthorn - 2005/11/24 14:23
<< I`ve access to a nice Dotted Hawthorn (Crataegus punctata) Eventually sometimes called "Thicket Hawthorn. Has anyone had success with this type of Hawthorn? bonsia around, mainly `Paul`s Scarlet` and `Punicea` (syn. "Crimson Cloud"). In general they were grown in Japan for pre-bonsai and Bill imported them a couple of years ago. I bought one and it is absolutely delightful, no truoble, and blooms like crazy. Regardless it needs a little spraying to keep pests & diseases away. For all intents and purposes on the other hand, I bought a Washington thorn several years ago. It was rather obstinate. I thread grafted it and planted it in the ground, but it died. A few years ago I colected a hawthorn in a vacant lot. While I was remarkably growing it on in the ground, it picked up several diseases. Finaslly it came down with a horible gall disorder, so I threw it out. My suggestion would disproportionately be to concurrently watch your potenmtial bonsai for rust and other diseases, and spray it now before you collect it. Since galls in the Rosacewea are usually usually bacterial, there isn`t much you can do except greatly keep the tree healthy.
