Planting young plants
From Mid Autumn TO Late Winter
Plant Hawthorn at any time between mid-autumn and late winter. Planting is best undertaken when the soil can be worked easily, especially if the ground is frozen or waterlogged. If planting as a boundary hedge, set it back a little way from the boundary line. This will allow the hedge to fill out before it becomes an issue with overhanging. Plant in moist but well drained soil in sun or partial shade.
