Washington Hawthorn

Washington Hawthorn

Washington hawthorn is a medium-sized tree growing to 25 to 30 feet on better sites. It has thin spikes 3 inches long on the younger branches. In the spring, the rounded crown is filled with snow-white clusters of flowers. The resulting fruit is about a 1/4 inch in diameter and turns a bright red in the fall. The persistent fruit is great food for songbirds in the fall and winter. Washington hawthorn can be used for wildlife habitat or between the central and outside rows of multi-row windbreaks. Avoid planting close to redcedar or juniper to reduce the potential for hawthorn rust. washington
