Crataegus monogyna is a tough, native tree widely used for hedging and wildlife habitats. It produces masses of white flowers in late spring, followed by bright red haws in autumn that are loved by birds. Its thorny branches make it ideal for boundary planting, while its tolerance of wind and poor soils suits exposed sites.
Average mature height: 6–10 m | Canopy spread: 5–8 m
