two years ago they were full of berries - lat year nothing. I don't remember if they bloomed. Already this year they have leaves but have not bloomed yet.

Certified ExpertA.They should be starting to bloom very soon! Usually, it is April through June for most varieties. Some flower first, and some flower and leaf out at the same time.

August 26, 2022Q.Can A Hawthorn Be Grafted Onto An Unrelated Rootstock?
A tree near here which I have always taken to be some cultivated variety of hawthorn (hawthorn-like leaves, abundant whitish flowers with pink centres in spring, rough bark on the trunk - see photo - but no thorns) was felled to ground level last year. I have just noticed that the (very short) stump, and one root are now sprouting, but the leaves (see photo) are quite different from those on the original tree . Could it be that the hawthorn? was grafted onto a quite different ? If so, what?

Certified ExpertA.Trees are often grafted onto a hardier rootstalk to improve the winter hardiness of a plant, for one reason. Rootstalks in themselves are not usually a tree you would want. That's why it's important to remove suckers, so they don't take over the desirable top of the tree.
Hawthornes are often used as a rootstalk for fruit trees. Here is an article you might enjoy:
