hawthorn cut back

 This hawthorn has put on some great growth this spring and is really healthy. So I decide to do a little trim and maybe got a bit carried away. Not really though, because I think it needed a bit of direction. The stem is upright with a bit of a twist midway through and some scarring, which I continued  up along to take in a old cut wound. I'll see what pops out and have a look again in a month or so.
