I love hawthorn trees. The cascades of white blossom and the scent. The scent! Whenever I smell it, I get strong flashbacks to a particular time in my life where the days where getting longer and warmer and the hawthorn scent was in the air as my friends and I walked to school. But because Denmark is a bit behind England when trees etc are blossoming, the scent makes me think of late May/early June. So every year I am always slightly confused because my brain is telling me “hey, smell that hawthorn, it must be June!”
I agree. I love hawthorns. They have something to give in every season and we have a huge old one in our garden. The only time I have a disagreement with the tree is late spring when the blossom is thick and I start sneezing with the pollen!
