I’ve had to change my reference tree! Some *^#¥ has chopped it down.
However, they are all very white this year.

Hawthorn Blossom
937 days ago
The blossom of the Hawthorn is very red this year
To prove an old superstition – unlucky to bring flowering Hawthorn indoors – it has been discovered that the flower’s sweet scent is also produced during the decay of corpses.
I prefer the little rhyme:
Beware the Oak –
it courts the stroke.
Beware the Ash –
it courts the flash.
Creep under the thorn –
it will save you from harm.
