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. This particular specimen was insufficiently treated. I took these photos to document whether treatment of defoliated hawthorn works with the usual method of cut and dab.

hard to see because leaves are grazed; the woody weeds in surround area of approx 100m2 were hawthorns (41) or sweet briar (2) some had a couple of leaves or bits of leaves left so I could identify; the dead bit of branch visible on the left side is a cut from the hawthorn from work carried out in March 2025.
