Hello, everybody.
I'm recording this piece on hawthorn in the last week in December, which makes sense for a number of reasons.
If we're talking about the berry, it is one of the herbs whose medicinal parts keeps its red, vibrant, warming vitality a long time on the tree and in herbal preparations.
Your hawthorn tree is probably denuded now, either from wind or hungry birds, but the ornamental ones are at least advertised for winter color.
I'm speaking from Massachusetts and have watched trees in New York State and Vermont also, but I'd be curious to find out if others have any berries left on their tree at this time in the winter.
Being a tree with some distinguishing characteristics consistent year-round, namely the long thorns, it is one you could include on a winter plant walk.
And the clock hasn't run out yet for visiting relatives, attending work parties, and other social gatherings, where as herbalists, it's often asked of us, what herbs can you use for blank? Followed by chronic health condition, especially cardiovascular.
Without doing a full intake or grilling them publicly about what medications they use and giving caveats of using various herbs with contraindications, it's nice to be able to suggest something safe and with confidence, which I believe you can do with Hawthorne.
