Washington Hawthorn
In stock · from $440.99
Green foliage changes to a combination of oranges and reds in the fall. Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom later than most other hawthorn, reducing susceptibility to fireblight. Clusters of vibrant red berries develop in summer and persist on the tree until consumed by birds. The dense, rounded crown often has tiered branches, adding to the visual appeal. Heat and drought tolerant, though special considerations should be made for thorned branches.
