One of the standout features of the Winter King Green Hawthorn is its vibrant green foliage, which remains on the tree throughout the summer and into the fall. The leaves turn a lovely orange-red color in the autumn, adding a splash of color to the landscape.
In addition to its foliage, the Winter King Green Hawthorn also produces clusters of white flowers in the spring. These flowers are followed by small red berries that persist into the winter, providing food for birds.
This hawthorn tree is relatively small, typically reaching a height of about 20-30 feet at maturity. It has a rounded shape and a dense canopy, making it a great choice for adding structure and visual interest to the garden.
When it comes to planting and care, the Winter King Green Hawthorn prefers a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is a hardy tree that can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including clay and alkaline soils.
