Crataegus laevigata, also known as English Hawthorn, Mayflower, or Midland Hawthorn, is a charming, small deciduous tree native to Europe and North Africa. Ideal for moist, well-drained soils in full sun, it thrives best in cooler climates, struggling in hot and humid conditions. This delightful tree reaches heights of 15-20 feet, forming a picturesque rounded crown adorned with thorny zigzag stems and 3 to 5-lobed dark green leaves. In a stunning mid-spring display, English Hawthorn erupts into clusters of fragrant, white 5-petaled flowers, later yielding small red fruits known as haws in fall. Used historically as a hedgerow due to its thorny nature, it remains an excellent choice for flowering landscapes or pruned hedges.
