Richo Cech –
Our hawthorns are around 18 inches tall without the pot. If grown in the right circumstances of sun, soil and moisture, trees can bush out significantly in the first 5 years and will be fruit productive by then.

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
