Single Seed English Hawthorn – Crataegus monogyna 480 Seeds | Hardy Flowering Hedge & Wildlife Tree Large Bulk Pack | Spring Blooms | Edible Haws | Boundary & Habitat Planting

Establish a substantial flowering hedge, windbreak, or habitat planting with these 480 Single Seed English Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) seeds. This hardy deciduous tree or large shrub is prized for its profuse white spring blossoms and bright red fall fruits known as “haws.”

English Hawthorn grows 15–30 feet tall with a rounded crown and dense, thorny, zigzag branching. In mid to late spring, clusters of white 5-petaled flowers blanket the tree, creating a striking ornamental display. By early fall, small dark red pomes develop, each containing a single seed. These fruits persist into winter and provide valuable food for birds such as thrushes and waxwings.

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

This 480-seed bulk pack is ideal for farm hedgerows, conservation projects, long property lines, and large-scale landscape plantings.
