Single Seed English Hawthorn – Crataegus monogyna 120 Seeds | Hardy Flowering Hedge Tree Showy Spring Blooms | Wildlife Friendly | Hedge, Street Tree & Bonsai Suitable

Create a stunning flowering hedge or landscape feature with these 120 Single Seed English Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) seeds. This hardy deciduous tree or large shrub is prized for its profuse white spring blooms and bright red fall fruits known as “haws.”

English Hawthorn typically grows 15–30 feet tall with a rounded crown and thorny, zigzag branching. In mid to late spring, clusters of white 5-petaled flowers blanket the tree, followed by small red pomes in early fall. Each fruit contains a single seed and provides essential winter food for birds such as thrushes and waxwings.

Historically planted throughout England as dense hedgerows, Hawthorn’s thorny stems make it ideal for boundary hedges, windbreaks, wildlife shelter, and privacy screens. It can also be grown as a small ornamental shade tree, street tree, or trained as bonsai. The fruits are edible and often used in jellies, jams, syrups, and traditional herbal preparations.

This 120-seed pack is ideal for establishing longer hedgerows, habitat plantings, rewilding projects, and landscape borders.
