Looking for an attractive and low-maintenance tree for your garden or hedge? Look no further than Crataegus mollis, also known as Downy Hawthorn or Red Hawthorn. This tree is native to eastern North America and can grow up to 13 meters high with a dense crown of thorny branches. In spring, white flowers with yellow anthers bloom in clusters followed by bright red edible fruit in late summer and early fall. This tree is tolerant of being trimmed and can even resprout if cut back into very old wood, making it a great choice for a hedge or decorative addition to your yard. It can tolerate moist or wet soil, but also can endure drought conditions, and even strong winds, but not maritime exposure. While it can be susceptible to diseases such as leaf rust and fireblight, this species is uncommon in cultivation. Add the unique beauty of Crataegus mollis to your garden today!
