Seedling
This spring I air layered several Hawthorn on a friends property- first attempt! I am late to retrieve them, but am amazed that I had success with 8/12, with one doubtful that I potted up anyway. The successes all had a nice mass of roots in the moss and I just plonked them in a pot with good potting soil without disturbing them.
My problem is how to overwinter. I have an unheated greenhouse, but lost several trees last year because I didn't think about the effect of temperature fluctiuations. Would it be best to put the pots directly in the earth? We probably have a month to 6 weeks before the ground freezes up here, and we typically have good snow cover.
