Warwickshire, April 2026. Credit: Joana G. Vicente
This project is focusing on two key disease concerns:
- Fireblight (Erwinia amylovora), a bacterial disease
- Gymnosporangium rusts (G. clavariiforme and G. confusum), fungal diseases
By collecting observations and
samples from real hedgerows, we can build a clearer
national picture of hawthorn health.
- «Download the hawthorn sampling protocol;
- «Complete a sampling sheet
- «Send your sampling sheet, photos and samples to: hawthorn...@forestresearch.gov.uk and our labs (postal addresses can be found on page 13 of the sampling protocol)

Think some delivery companies here also provide the name of the person delivering the parcel although it still does not stop them driving past and putting it in the collection hub some miles away rather than walking up to the house and actually delivering.
What would be helpful is also giving the name of the postal delivery person as I frequently get letters for the wrong house. There used to be an easy explanation for this as the old postie had very poor eyesight and freely admitted it, was a nice person though. Now it is less clear why we still get the bank statements, hospital appointments etc for others in the area apart from there being two rather similar street addresses in the same area, poor decision by council 50+ years ago when deciding on names of places and presumably now impossible to fix.

This project is focusing on two key disease concerns:
o
o Fireblight (Erwinia amylovora), a bacterial disease
o
o Gymnosporangium rusts (G. clavariiforme and G. confusum), fungal diseases
By collecting observations and samples from real hedgerows, we can build a clearer national picture of hawthorn health.
o «Send your sampling sheet, photos and samples to:
o hawthorn...@forestresearch.gov.uk and our labs (postal addresses can be found on page 13 of the
o
o sampling protocol) Clik in the pic ...
Authors have published 20 papers
