What are the bulbus growths on the branches of my young Washington Hawthorn. They have tiny spikes like porcupines, but not as many.
Sounds like stem cankers.
This link will help you.
The leaves inside Web have gone browntree and bubbly can't see spiders
Without photos, there are two possibilities that I can think of: webworms, or giant whitefly.
Fall webworms have a defined but loose web with caterpillars inside.
without photos
Giant whitefly has masses of white filaments, something like webbing and there will be small white flying insects fluttering about.
We have just transplanted our mixed hawthorn and bramble hedge to another part of the garden. It also needs reducing in height by 2 feet, can we do this now or should we wait. Thank you
Depending on your USDA zone, this may not be the time to do so, unless it does not get below freezing in your area.
The Hawthorn can handle pruning during winter, but depending on the type of bramble that it is, it may not be the time to prune. Can you include pictures, and your USDA zone? This will help me to determine the best course of action from here.
If the above question is likely what can be done about it ?
Woodworm larvae are usually a creamy white color and have curved bodies. It’s highly unlikely you’ll ever actually see woodworm larvae, as they stay hidden munching away on timber until they are fully-grown. Adult wood boring beetles look different depending on their species, the Common Furniture beetle is a brown winged beetle, typically 3-4mm in length.
If your tree is softened by decay; it is possible to have these beetles.
An insecticide that is permethrin based can be used but always follow the directions on the container.
It seems that something is eating the root
Your hawthorn bush could be infected with a fungus that causes root rot. You should consult with a local extension service for advice on whether you need to remove the bush entirely. This article may be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/armillaria-root-rot-control.htm
Can I remove the seed pods of Indian Hawthorn to promote are blooming in the same season? I live in Santa Barbara, CA.
It may, or may not bloom again. Very, very rarely it does help, but most of the time, since it has a set bloom period it will just continue on its normal life cycle for the year.

Attached are photos of the Hawthorn tree on which the fungi is growing, my questions are 1. Is it harmless? 2. Should I just let it rot naturally or cut it down? 3. Will it spread to the rest of the hedge? I look forward to your reply thank you victor adams
This is the start of the turkey tail mushroom, or Trametes versicolor. It will not harm living wood. This is here because the tree is already in the process of rotting and is mostly dead. This is never the cause of a tree's death but a symptom of another disease that has progressed to the point of tree death. It is likely that the rest of the tree will follow suit and that the soil is contaminated already. Other trees may contract the issue but such is nature. It should be replaced by a species that cannot contract this particular disease.
There is no need to interfere with this process, as this mushroom is doing its job.
