The hawthorn shrub is not picky about the soil, but grows best on deep, moderately moist and well-drained fertile soils. Unpretentious in culture, photophilous and winter-hardy.
Watering
If living in a cold region, watering is required every 3-5 days. Water early in the morning when the soil is dry, outdoors or indoors. You can also determine the need for watering by checking the indoor soil. If the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry, it's time to water the plant.
Where is the best place to plant hawthorn
Hawthorn feels great in open areas, where it can be planted even for decorative purposes, if the bush is originally formed. This useful plant prefers heavy but well-drained and fertile soils.
In what year does the hawthorn begin to bear fruit
Fruiting begins after reaching the age of five. Decorative varieties - even later. Almost all varieties of hawthorn are famous for their high yields - from one bush, with proper care and good weather conditions, you can collect about fifty kilograms of berries from one bush during the season.
What does hawthorn like
Hawthorn loves heavy and fertile soils. It should be planted in a sunny place, arranging drainage from expanded clay, broken brick or gravel at the bottom of the planting pit. The root system of the shrub is powerful, long, and grows strongly. The best age for planting in a permanent place is 2 years.
