Single Seed English Hawthorn – Crataegus monogyna 20 Seeds | Hardy Flowering Tree Showy Spring Blooms | Wildlife Friendly | Hedge & Bonsai Suitable

Grow a classic European flowering tree with these 20 Single Seed English Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) seeds. Known for its profuse white spring blossoms and bright red fall fruits (haws), this hardy deciduous tree or large shrub is a beautiful and functional addition to landscapes.

English Hawthorn typically grows 15–30 feet tall with a rounded crown and thorny, zigzag branching. In mid to late spring, clusters of fragrant white 5-petaled flowers cover the tree, followed by small red fruits in fall that contain a single seed. The fruits persist into winter and are highly valued by birds such as thrushes and waxwings.

Traditionally planted as a hedgerow in England due to its dense, thorny structure, Hawthorn is ideal for boundary hedges, wildlife shelter, small shade trees, and even bonsai cultivation. The fruit is edible and commonly used in jellies, jams, syrups, wine, and herbal preparations.

This 20-seed pack is perfect for gardeners, homesteaders, hedgerow plantings, and native-style landscapes.

You will receive:
✔️ 20 English Hawthorn seeds
