(Syn. Crataegus oxyacantha, Midland Hawthorn, English Hawthorn, Mayflower) Deciduous thorny bush to small tree. Native to the Midlands of Great Britain, with a wide distribution throughout western and central Europe. Traditional use (TWM): Maladies of the heart. Plants prefer full sun to part shade and water. Well-suited to clay soils. Shelterbelt, landscape tree, hedgerow, living fence. This is the prettiest of the Hawthorns, with pink or red flowers and showy autumn color. The fruits are excellent. Plant prefers well-drained garden soils and is relatively drought and cold tolerant, requiring little care once established. Sow the seeds anytime. It will take about a year for them to come up. Sow about 5 seeds per gallon pot, 1/2 to 1 inch deep, and mulch with decomposed leaves. Label well. Keep pot in the cool shade, and water occasionally, especially if rain or snowfall is not abundant. Once seedlings emerge, they may be pricked to individual pots and grown on for a year or more, until the trees are large enough to transplant to the landscape.

Hi Sara,
Hawthorne grows fine in N NJ. We will have plenty of Crataegus monogyna trees in the spring of 2024. Please hit waitlist and reserve your tree when you get the e-mail. It is getting late to plant them, anyway, in the fall and i think a spring transplant will be preferable. richo

Can you tell me what the difference is between the craetagus monogyna and the crataegus oxyyacantha?

Richo Cech –
the leaf shape is different, the flower color may be contrasted by looking at the photos in the respective monographs, and the monogyna is one-seeded while the oxyacantha is multi-seeded. r
