Crataegus marshallii, commonly known as Parsley Hawthorn, is a delightful tree or shrub native to the southeastern United States, notable for its ornamental qualities and ecological benefits. This deciduous plant captures attention with its delicately dissected, parsley-like green leaves that transition to vibrant shades of orange and burgundy in the fall. The tree reaches a modest height of 20-25 feet and prefers the moist, well-drained soils of floodplains and riverbanks, making it perfect for enhancing garden landscapes around ponds and streams. Parsley Hawthorn blooms in mid to late spring, showcasing clusters of white flowers tipped with red stamens, providing vital nectar for pollinators. As autumn approaches, the tree produces small, bright red apple-like berries that endure into winter, serving as a valuable food source for birds and mammals. Despite its thorny branches, this tree supports wildlife by offering shelter and nesting sites. With stunning bark that adds winter interest, Parsley Hawthorn is not only an aesthetic asset but also contributes to erosion control and biodiversity, making it a superb choice for gardeners and conservationists alike.
