This week on the the My Slice of Life podcast we are taking a look at the folklore and traditional uses of the Hawthorn tree. Find out why you should leave a lone hawthorn alone, what the Romans used it for which we now have science to back up and why the invite to the coronation of King Charles upset a few people!! This is one interesting and contradictory tree.
