Discover the enchanting Crataegus brachyacantha, commonly known as Blue Hawthorn or Blueberry Hawthorn, an exceptional addition to any garden. Native to the southern central United States, this remarkable broadleaf deciduous tree thrives in various habitats, from oak flatwoods to pine flatwoods, adapting well to average, clay, rich, and well-drained soils. Reaching heights of 40 to 50 feet, its broad, compact, round-topped structure makes it a striking ornamental choice. Its delicate white spring flowers that attract bees gracefully transition to orange as they mature, set off its signature asset—the stunning bright-blue fruit. Ripening in late summer, these fruits attract birds, enhancing any pollinator garden. With glossy dark green leaves that transform to brilliant oranges, bronzes, and reds in fall, Blue Hawthorn offers seasonal visual interest. Heat and humidity tolerant, Crataegus brachyacantha is ideal for sun-dappled shade locations, ensuring its place as a resilient and beautiful landscape choice.
