Does anyone have hawthorns as bonsai or in training? I have always loved the leaves on C.spathulata and have recently discovered some c. punctata on a clear cut lot that I am considering attempting to move.

My questions are;

1 how well do hawthorns transplant from the wild ?

2 what style af training suits them best? I recently saw a C spathulata at a show and it had all the grace of a Bradford pear. Is it inherent in the plant to make so many breaks in response to pruning that you get the green ball on a stick, or was that the growers personal choice?
