English Hawthorn – Crataegus laevigata 480 Seeds | Hardy Flowering Tree | Non-GMO Large Bulk Pack | Showy White Spring Blooms | Edible Red Haws

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

In mid to late spring, clusters of delicate white five-petaled flowers blanket the tree, creating a stunning ornamental display while attracting bees and butterflies. By early fall, vibrant red fruits known as “haws” develop, adding seasonal interest and serving as an important winter food source for birds and wildlife.

English Hawthorn is exceptionally versatile — tolerant of cold, drought, heat, and urban conditions. Its thorny branches make it ideal for hedgerows, natural security barriers, windbreaks, and privacy plantings. It can also be trained as a small specimen tree, street tree, or even bonsai. The fruits are edible and commonly used in jellies, jams, syrups, wine, and infused spirits. Young spring leaves and flower petals are also edible when tender.

This 480-seed bulk pack is ideal for large hedge installations, habitat restoration projects, permaculture plantings, nursery propagation, or wholesale growers.

✔️ 480 Crataegus laevigata seeds
