Crataegus oxyacantha
D'oh Double Pink Hawthorn
Dense spreading tree with glossy, dark green foliage and a profusion of small double pink flowers, borne in clusters during late Spring. We'll suited to exposed cold and windy gardens. Crataegus species are shrubs, mostly growing to between 5 and 15m tall. They produce small, sharp thorns and the leaves of most species have lobed or serrate margins and are variable in shape. They sport a fruit, sometimes referred to as a Haw, which is much loved by birds. Hawthorn is used extensively across Europe as a hedging plant and for field boundaries. Some cultivated varieties are now popular as ornamental garden shrubs.

Planting young plants
From Mid Autumn TO Late Winter
Plant Hawthorn at any time between mid-autumn and late winter. Planting is best undertaken when the soil can be worked easily, especially if the ground is frozen or waterlogged. If planting as a boundary hedge, set it back a little way from the boundary line. This will allow the hedge to fill out before it becomes an issue with overhanging. Plant in moist but well drained soil in sun or partial shade.
