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

hi sara, they are the same–oxyacantha = laevigata. we have no availability of this tree right now–we do have good stock on wild hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). richo

no, this is way too dangerous, and they will self-prune. r

I’d really love to buy one of these from you. How tall will the tree be? Will it be ready to flower this summer? Thanks so much Rico! You are awesome!

Hello Cayla,
Sorry to say these are not currently up for sale. We do have a field of them and are hoping to offer them in the spring. they are about 18 inches tall and probably won’t flower until the second year after planting. Hit “waitlist.”

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!

Which of your Hawthorns bear the largest fruit?

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
