Watering HawthornTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Exposure HawthornSole pieno
The Hawthorn should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight. The Hawthorn should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero.To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves.

Generalities Hawthorn
The Hawthorn develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Hawthorn is small in size and 7 m in height; in the autumn it assumes a red colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Treatments Hawthorn
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil Hawthorn
For these shrubs it’s necessary to choose a rich and deep substratum , which presents an excellent drainage.
