The Plant
Botanical Family: Rosaceae
Plant part: Bud
Origin: France
Close to home, as a pioneer tree, hawthorn, whose gray twigs bear long thorns, colonizes hedges and forest edges throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor. It is particularly fond of light. A true tree or shrub with a greyish trunk, it is extremely long-lived (over 500 years). It occupies the space left to it, finding its place and inviting us to do the same.
Its small, simple, deciduous leaves are deeply divided into 3 to 7 toothed lobes. Its delicate, abundant white flowers bloom from April to May, symbolizing purity and beauty, and are associated with the Virgin Mary. In September, they give way to cenelles, small red edible stone fruits, rather bland and floury, but rich in vitamin C. Birds love them.
Christian tradition associates hawthorn with Christ. It is said that his crown of thorns was woven from the branches, and that drops of his blood dyed the flower stamens..
Strength and beauty, love and thorns, delicacy and hardness of its wood, light and greyness - doesn’t this represent a balance in duality?
Very present in the Dordogne, the hawthorn offered itself to us both in the forest and along the paths, a great moment of picking.
