Hawthorn Hedge (Crataegus monogyna). Established thorn hedge of no great age planted as a field divider and wind brake.


Hawthorn Hedge (Crataegus monogyna). Established thorn hedge of no great age planted as a field divider and wind brake across open arable farm, Norfolk. Note how base has died out; main upright branches or trunks ready for layering when ensuing new fresh adventitious growth will fill hedge out and it will regain livestock impermeability and be a better wind break. Far side of hedge awaiting trimming. An older hedge would have other tree species included in its make-up.
