Hawthorn is the tree that changes the job plan rather than the risk assessment — thorns running an inch to several inches long mean full arm protection, hand protection and a slow, careful drag-out, so a 20-foot hawthorn realistically prices like a much larger tree. It is not a hazard species; it is a labor and PPE species.
