Discover the enchanting allure of Crataegus phaenopyrum, commonly known as Washington Hawthorn. This captivating tree is an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their landscape with a splash of seasonal color. A member of the Rosaceae family, it presents a small, low-branching, deciduous form, typically growing to 25-30 feet tall with an appealing rounded crown. From its origins in the southeastern United States, including Missouri, Arkansas, and beyond, it thrives in a range of climates, enduring zones 4 through 8.

Washington Hawthorn dazzles throughout the year. It awakens in spring with reddish-purple leaves that soon turn dark green. By June, it bursts into a stunning display of fragrant, white flowers. As fall approaches, its foliage transforms, showcasing vibrant shades of orange, scarlet, and purple, complemented by clusters of bright red berries that persist into winter.

Perfect as a hedge, specimen tree, or street plant, this thorny beauty tolerates urban pollution, and flourishes in full sun and well-drained soil. Thanks to its resistance to common pests and diseases, such as cedar-apple rust, and its adaptability to various soil types, including heavy clay, Washington Hawthorn provides an enduring landscape solution. Embrace nature's resilience and beauty with this charming tree that attracts birds, butterflies, and admiration alike.
