'Winter King' Hawthorn is multi-season
ornamental tree. It is excellent for landscape use as a specimen,
entranceway planting, group planting, or in raised planters. This
tree is rounded and spreading with vase shaped branching and
glossy green foliage. The showy silver-gray bark exfoliates with
age. The 'Winter King' Hawthorn has white flowers in mid-spring
and its bright red fruit lasts into the winter. It has a bronze,
red and gold fall color.
The 'Winter King' Hawthorn will grow 25-35 feet in height with a
spread of 20-25 feet and a medium growth habit. This tree prefers
full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. However,
it is tolerant of poor soil, drought and heat. There are a few
thorns on this tree (much less than most Hawthorns) and should not
be placed in the path of pedestrian traffic. Wildlife is attracted
to the 'Winter King'.
