English Hawthorn – Crataegus laevigata 120 Seeds | Hardy Flowering Tree | Non-GMO Bulk Pack | Showy White Blooms | Edible Red Haws & Hedge Tree

Grow your own English Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata), a hardy and adaptable small flowering tree prized for its abundant spring blossoms and bright red edible fruits. Native to Europe, India, and North Africa, this deciduous tree or large shrub typically reaches 15–20 feet tall with a rounded crown and dense branching habit.

In mid to late spring, clusters of delicate white five-petaled flowers cover the tree, creating a beautiful ornamental display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. By early fall, vibrant red fruits known as “haws” develop, providing long-lasting seasonal interest and valuable winter food for birds and wildlife.

English Hawthorn is highly tolerant of cold, drought, heat, and urban conditions. Its thorny stems make it ideal for hedges, windbreaks, privacy screens, and boundary plantings. It can be pruned into a formal hedge, grown as a specimen landscape tree, or trained as bonsai.

The edible fruits are most commonly used in jellies, jams, syrups, wines, and infused spirits. Young leaves and flower petals are also edible when harvested tender in spring.

This 120-seed bulk pack is perfect for larger hedge projects, wildlife gardens, restoration plantings, and nursery growing.

You will receive:
✔️ 120 Crataegus laevigata seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
