 The Washington Hawthorn is a gorgeous prized tree for many across the USA!  The first thought that comes to mind about this tree is how it is a small native tree, that is absolutely beautiful and not very hard to grow! This is considered a tree that stays on the smaller side so it can fit in many landscapes. It typically grows less than 30' feet in height. The Washington Hawthorn is hardy down to zone 4. The Washington Hawthorn tends to grow in a pyramidal shape naturally so it looks great with little to no pruning. It does have small berries that are beautiful but you should not eat them. The hawthorn also has small thorns on the branches is the main downfall. If the thorns won’t bother you, then this tree is perfect for you and your landscape even if you have a small yard! White flowers in early June start the color show. Reddish-purple leaves turn dark green, then orange, scarlet, or purple. Small, glossy red fruits stay on the Washington Hawthorns into winter and are preferred by songbirds. This Hawthorn is a very important nectar plant for bees! Washington Hawthorns typically hold onto their leaves longer than nearly all other trees being one of the last trees of the season to lose its leaves in the fall.

Washington Hawthorn

The tree arrived very leavy which is so pretty. I was hoping for a straighter trunk and am wondering if the third lower branch can be trimmed to give the tree a more symmetrical appearance.

Thank you very much! We appreciate your business! You absolutely can cut off that lower branch, we do recommend waiting until the tree is fully dormant during winter to do so though. If you can plan to cut it back between fall and late winter, you should be fine! Have a great week!

is it edible?

This is typically used as a landscaping tree, the seeds are poisonous to eat. Some eats the leaves and berries but you cannot eat the seeds. We cannot personally recommend eating any of it.

Hawthorn tree

I hate Washington hawthorn thorns so much! It is in their name though so that’s what they are about haha. But otherwise these are one of the most beautiful trees that exist.

Thank you very much!
