Washington Hawthorn — Description

The Washington hawthorn (Crataegus phaenopyrum) is a small deciduous tree that typically grows 20–30 feet tall with a rounded to oval crown. It's admired for its year-round ornamental value and its ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions.

Spring: Dense White Blossoms
In late spring (May–June), the tree erupts into masses of small white flowers arranged in dense, flat-topped clusters. These clusters are about 2–3 inches across and create a striking, cloudlike display.

Summer: Glossy Green Foliage
After flowering, the tree develops glossy, dark green leaves that stay attractive throughout the season. The leaves are 1–3 inches long, lobed, and have serrated edges.

Fall: Brilliant Color
In autumn, Washington hawthorn puts on one of the most reliable fall color shows of any native tree. The foliage turns bright orange, scarlet, and deep red, often holding color longer than many other ornamentals.

Winter: Persistent Red Berries

The tree is under one year warranty. If tree dies within the one year period, take photo and send tree and photo..
How to Care for a Washington Hawthorn Tree

The Washington hawthorn is tough, adaptable, and low-maintenance once established — but like all young trees, it thrives with the right start. Here's everything it needs to grow strong and beautiful.

1. Sunlight
Plant in full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
More sun = more flowers, more berries, and better fall color.

2. Soil
Grows in almost any soil: clay, loam, or sandy.
Prefers well-drained soil, but tolerates occasional wetness.
Handles urban conditions and compacted soil better than many ornamentals.

3. Watering

First Year (Most Important)

Water deeply once per week.

In hot or windy weather, water twice per week.

Keep soil moist but not soggy.

After Establishment

Becomes drought-tolerant.

Water only during long dry spells.
