Discover the beauty and ecological value of Crataegus succulenta, commonly known as Fleshy Hawthorn, a striking tree or shrub in the Rosaceae family. Reaching heights of 13-20 feet, this deciduous species is perfect for enhancing gardens and natural areas with its ornamental charm. In mid to late spring, witness the splendor of flat-topped clusters of white flowers blooming at twig tips, each delicate blossom featuring five petals and a captivating fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies. Following this floral spectacle, the tree produces vibrant red or orange, berry-like haws that persist into winter, providing nourishment for birds and wildlife. The foliage, a lush medium to dark green, transforms to vivid shades of yellow, orange, or red in fall.

Fleshy Hawthorn thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, adaptable to various conditions and requiring minimal maintenance. Its dense branches offer safe havens for nesting birds, while the abundant, slightly curved thorns contribute a unique texture. A native gem, Crataegus succulenta enriches ecosystems, making it an ideal choice for wildlife gardens and native plantings. Embrace this stunning species and let it bring year-round interest and ecological benefits to your landscape.
