Posts: 43	Hawthorn Rescue I know it is the worst time of year, in the south to collect trees, but there is a hawthorn that I would like to lift. It is where we are building a new road, so if I don't get it the bull dozers will. I know I have to reduce the trees transpiration, but I haven't decided which way is best. Should I cut it back to the stump and let it back bud, or should I leave a few limbs on and defoliate them, so the tree has budds that it has already set to fall back on? I know its late to defoliate a tree, but if I protect it, I figure I can extend its growing season to Nov? I think I am going to get it Sat. I just wanted to hear from someone who has lifted trees this time before and had luck at it. Thanks in advance. __________________ John

Basically dig so far around it that you dont even touch the roots. Then either put it back in the ground or a large grow box and cross your fingers. Good luck Tom

I collected one in mid-summer of last year and it is doing fine. If it is going to be destroyed you might as well take it. As for after care, i would remove some of the foliage and put it in a sheltered spot, watering it whenever the soil begins to gets dry. Don't be alarmed if it loses some or all of its leaves- one of the hardest lessons I learned was not to fiddle with thing like this. Good luck. __________________ -Conor
