Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Description
The small red fruits of this hawthorn usually last into winter. The tree has few thorns.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Blooming
Hawthorns' clustering white flowers bloom during springtime, and then go on to yield tiny, apple-shaped fruits in summer and fall.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Growth
Thorny, deciduous trees and shrubs. Hawthorns do well in full sun. Some species will grow to be approx. 30 ft. in height. Hawthorns attract wildlife. They are best grown as hedges and specimen trees that can withstand urban, coastal, and exposed conditions.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Planting
When ripe, remove the seeds from the fleshy exterior. Sow in a seedbed or in containers in an open frame. Germination is slow and can take up to 18 months.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Pest
Fire blight (a plant disease characterized in appearance by blackened tissue), aphids, and scales insects.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Interesting facts
Hawthorns are somewhat unique in that attentiveness and otherwise good conditions (good soil, regular water and fertilization) can negatively affect the tree as a whole. These conditions foster young growth that is highly susceptible to fireblight, and can result in massive die-off of entire branches. They attract bees and birds.
Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis 'Winter King') - Soil and irrigation
Hawthorns should be kept somewhat dry. They do well in any soil that that has good drainage.
