The Hawthorn tree has very special symbolism for me since my childhood growing up in the midlands surrounded by its abundant fragrant blossom. It represents an innocence and worldliness.

Traditionally the Hawthorn tree was planted in hedgerows acting as boundaries and enclosures for farm animals; guarding woodland sanctuaries portraying its protective force.

Physical, moral and spiritual purity which humans struggle for, is symbolised in the overflowing abundance of the white flowers, thereby playing a role at fertility, marriage rites and spring celebrations for millennia.

The Hawthorn blossom is hermoraphrodite, strongly associating the balance of male and female.
