A little along the road is a hawthorn tree in full flower. But it is too soon to start casting clouts though.
Our boundary hedge is a mix of mainly hawthorn and blackthorn. It makes a first rate hedge and is the traditional field hedgerow characteristic of the English countryside. However, in keeping it trim the flowers are sparse. I have started allowing the odd shoot along the hedge to grow untrimmed. Here is one I left a few years ago and is now beginning to look like a tree. A little way to go still before it achieves the majesty of the one above.
