Re: [RC] Hawthorne Trees / Bushes in Pasture - indiancp
gosh why would you want to take them out?? my
favorite of all the trees and the ripened fruit is good and said to be excellent
for your heart. we have them in our pasture and no problem with the horses
but my blamed goats like to chew on them which annoys me no end. if it's
just that there is too many just keep them mowed down.

Hi all...I think we may have found our horse property.
Will be putting a contract on it later today and wanted some inputs. The
pasture is well grazed (not over grazed though) from cows, is open for the
most part, tree lined edges, along with a gully filled with plenty of trees...
total pasture is about 20 acres. But the one thing I noted the most is
the Hawthornes. There's at least 1 large tree that is Hawthorne and
an area of the pasture with a bunch of little ones...some really tiny and
others that are knee high. Whether tiny or large they all had long,
strong thorns on them. I was told the best way to get rid of them is to cut
them down and keep the pasture short as they grow back from their roots.
So wanting to hear some ideas and comments on how best to manage a pasture
with these Hawthornes. Should we also take out the big Hawthorne tree or
leave that one? Will likely have other questions and be seeking
comments on other things yet. Thanks, Val (another horse is on
the list...and for the freezer--a couple cows) + Sania (you mean I gotta
live with *cows* too ??? They scare
me!)
