1 Live Plant Downy Hawthorn Crataegus mollis 12 Inch Tall 2 Year Old Starter Tree
Downy Hawthorn (Crataegus molli) is a hardy North American native tree prized for its rounded canopy, lobed green foliage, and seasonal display of white spring blossoms followed by small red fruits. This 2 year old starter tree arrives potted and approximately 12 inches tall, ready to establish in a sunny landscape or large container.
Downy Hawthorn works well as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as part of a native planting where its dense branching provides structure and cover. The fruit can be used in jellies and preserves, while the textured foliage and fall color add ornamental interest across the seasons. It adapts to a range of soils and tolerates urban conditions once established.
