Washington Hawthorne
Previous: Alternatives to Flowering Dogwood
White flowers in late spring, a beautiful canopy of dark green leaves that turn red and orange in the fall, and bright red berries that hang on the tree deep into winter--you can't ask for a nicer tree of any size. You can forgive it for having thorns; its prickly nature means that pruning has to be done with gloves. Mature size of the Washington hawthorne (Crataegus phaenopyrum) is 25 to 30 feet tall and somewhat less wide (20 to 25 feet). USDA Zones (3)4 to 8.
