Sara –
Hi, I need the oxyacantha one. How can I make sure I’m getting this one and not the laevigata?

I really want to make sure I am buying a C. oxyacantha tree/shrub. Is there a way to choose?

Hello Cayla, Those are 2 Latin names (interchangeable species names in common use) for the same tree. Richo

I ordered two Hawthorn Trees and was so impressed by how my two trees were packaged and shipped to me, but completely blown away by the quality of the Hawthorn Trees and every product I have ever bought from Strictly Medicinals. Thank you Richo!

Admin Richo Cech –
That would be the Crataegus monogyna but to be fair the Chinese Hawthorn “C. pinnatifida var. major” has truly huge fruits. Whether they are ounce-per-ounce as potent as our monogyna, I doubt. Anyway, here is a great youtube on the subject of Chinese hawthorn by my friend Joe Hollis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb6Uz5y_sd8
