SD9968 : Bonsai hawthorn on limestone pavement

near to Conistone, North Yorkshire, Great Britain

Bonsai hawthorn on limestone pavement
Bonsai hawthorn on limestone pavement
This hawthorn shrub, apart from being stunted like many others on the pavement, appeared to have two other interesting adaptations: unusually densely-packed leaves, which I presume reduces evapotranspiration in a very dry environment; and an absence of thorns - the pavement itself presumably providing a barrier to predation by sheep.
