Crataegus phaenopyrum WW39 Washington Hawthorn F2-
Crataegus phaenopyrum WW39 Washington Hawthorn F2- (SE US Native) Washington Hawthorn, Mature plant size: 25x15, white flowers, small red fruit in fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 6b, In Garden Bed F2 for 25.5 YEARS (Arborday). Planted in 1997.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Crataegus phaenopyrum, commonly called Washington hawthorn, is native to Missouri where it is primarily found in open ground, thickets and wood margins in the Ozark region of the state (Steyermark). It is noted for its attractive flowers and foliage, bright red fruits and fall color. It is a small, low-branching, deciduous tree that typically grows 25-30' tall with a rounded crown. Thorny stems are clad with shallowly lobed, serrate, glossy dark green leaves (to 2 1/2” long). Leaves turn attractive shades of orange and red in fall. Fragrant, 5-petaled, white flowers in clusters (corymbs) bloom in late spring. Flowers are followed in fall by bright red 1/4” diameter globose fruits (pomes) that persist throughout the winter. The fruit is sometimes called a haw. The word haw also means hedge, the hawthorn thus being a thorny hedge. Washington hawthorn is native from Virginia to Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama.
