Re: [nafex] Hawthorn
Hi,
Wouldn't that be something for the front yard... A fruit tree with pears,
apples and roses, if you could get the correct compatability.
Talk about demand for such a tree.
Interesting thought, but I am sure the chances are slim for the success of
reworking of a Hawthorn in this manner.
