Hawthorn

The Hawthorn (Crataegus phaenopyrum) is a charming deciduous tree that adds natural beauty and character to any landscape. With its compact and rounded form, it provides an attractive silhouette throughout the year. The Hawthorn features glossy green leaves that transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple during the autumn months, creating a stunning display of fall foliage. In spring, clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. These flowers are followed by small, red berries that persist into winter, providing food for birds and adding visual interest to the tree. The Hawthorn is known for its tolerance to various soil conditions and its ability to thrive in full sun or partial shade, making it a versatile choice for gardens and urban environments. Whether used as a specimen tree, a hedgerow, or incorporated into mixed plantings, the Hawthorn brings a touch of natural beauty and ecological value to any outdoor space.
