Ancient Hawthorn
Roaring Plains hawthorn, Crataegus sp. Probably a pioneer just after the spruce were cut and the fires died down. That would make it just about 100 years old. Living this long and attaining this size in as harsh and windswept an environment as Roaring Plains is a testament to just how hardy these hawthorns are. It isn’t called Roaring Plains for nothing.
