| Hawthorn. Once known as ‘bread and cheese’ the young leaf shoots of the Hawthorn were a country child’s early taste of wild food. The hawthorn was once regarded as a holy tree and to cut one down was asking for trouble from the supernatural. There are many myths and legends surrounding the hawthorn. The fruit is used as a tonic for the heart muscles and its use dissolves gristly matter in arteries that leads to arteriosclerosis. It is also used in the treatment of insomnia. The language of flowers says ‘Hope’ - ‘Despite your answer, I shall strive to win your love’ |
