1 Live Plant Washington Hawthorn 24 Inch Starter Tree Crataegus phaenopyrum
Washington Hawthorn is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its dense clusters of white spring blossoms, glossy lobed foliage, and brilliant fall color that shifts from orange to deep red. This cold-hardy native selection develops a rounded, uniform canopy and produces small red fruit that persists into winter, offering lasting seasonal interest for yards, borders, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
Versatile as a specimen, hedge, or mixed border tree, Washington Hawthorn grows at a moderate rate and responds well to pruning for shape or screening. Its layered branching and tidy habit make it a classic choice for traditional and cottage gardens, and the abundant blooms and berries extend the display well beyond spring.
