So the story is as follows..
A few days ago (upon a secluded walk) I stumbled across, deeply appreciated, and subsequently collected a little specimen which i had (at that time) thought I had identified as a member of the Cratageus family.
The plant traveled back with us and was subjected to a VERY crude initial “cutback”. I decided to wait until after the upcoming budbreak to make more branch selections and revisit design.
I thought my Identification was accurate, until today. I noticed the bud distribution in relationship to the thorns on some of the discarded twigs did not strike me as characteristic of Hawthorn.. so now I am beginning to think something Malus? But definitely not %100..
“Enclosed” are pictures of the specimen, as well as two different shots the twigs to convey different points of growth..... any input regarding this identification?
Thank You.
