About this species
Washington hawthorn is a hardy, ornamental tree admired for its year-round visual interest and adaptability. In spring, it produces clusters of white blossoms that attract pollinators and contrast beautifully against its glossy green leaves. By late summer, these flowers give way to abundant bright-red fruits that persist well into winter, providing a valuable food source for birds and adding striking color to the landscape. Its branches are equipped with sharp thorns, which offer natural wildlife protection but should be considered when selecting planting locations. Washington hawthorn thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it a reliable choice for urban settings, parks, and residential landscapes where seasonal beauty and ecological value are priorities.
Planting notes
Tolerates poor soil and exposed sites. Thorny — keep it away from paths and play areas.
