Crataegus phaenopyrum is a small, deciduous, tree featuring showy white flowers, leaves that emerge reddish-purple, mature to lustrous dark green, and turn vibrant orange, scarlet, or purple in autumn, and abundant, persistent, bright red fruits. Decurrent habit (rounded/spreading crown rather than a central leader). Non-invasive roots. Excellent for barrier hedges due to its dense, intertwined branches and prominent 1- to 3-inch thorns. Other uses include as a specimen, street tree. Easy to espalier or pollard. Prefers full sun; part-shade results in reduced flowering and berry yield. Moderate water use until established, then relatively drought-tolerant. Highly adaptable to soil conditions, tolerates both acidic and highly alkaline soils. Prefers moist, well-drained soil but tolerates clay. Deer-resistant. Fire-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -30°F.
