Crataegus viridis 'Winter King'
Winter King green hawthorn

Culture: This species prefers full sun and acid to neutral soils and tolerates both wet and dry sites.

Winter King green hawthorn is generally not seriously troubled by cedar hawthorn rust, except for the fruits on occasion.

Usage: This tree is an excellent choice for specimen use, where its showy flowers and fruits can be enjoyed. Consider an appropriate background to show off the orange-red fruits.
