Question
Marc –
I currently live in an apartment in the midwest with East-facing windows (and NO BALCONY), (on the border of hardiness zones 5b and 6a) but will be moving into a house within 2 years. Because these trees take so long to grow from seed, I would like to get one of these trees and grow it in a pot in my apartment so it will be well underway for transplanting on my property. What is the best way to keep this tree alive and thriving in the apartment conditions I just described? Thank you!

Hi Marc,
thanks for getting in touch. Hawthorne trees don’t size well to pots–they are fast-growing and woody. I suggest staying in touch to buy a tree when you’re ready to plant it outdoors–we have a large number of these coming on in our nursery. Richo

Hello. Will these become available this season? I live in the forest in Big Sur & would love to see if Hawthorn would like it there. Thank you.

I am so looking forward to enjoying the flowers and so are the bees ❤️ the leaves and of course berries. so grateful you all planted these strong heart medicine trees for us All. Thank you all so much- Love from Virginia
