User's notes
41 small hawthorns; cut and painted in 2 groups of 15 and 26 Hths; mapped with Field Maps 2025/26 Treated; all heavily grazed some without any leaves; it will be interesting to see whether the usual woody weed treatment i.e. cut and paint the cut surface will work on defoliated plants.
Follow up control at a site where on the 16/03/2025 hundreds of hawthorns and some sweet briars were treated in March 2025, see Field Maps 2024/25 Treated Weeds / Hawthorn.
I took these photos to document whether treatment of defoliated hawthorn works with the usual method of cut and dab.

all had bits of leaves which are either out of focus or not captured when I took photos; perhaps I should upload each individual plant separately
