Crataegus viridis ''Winter King' Common Names: Hawthorn

Description:

Fruit is 1/4 to 1/2" in diameter, the brilliant red fruit start forming in late September or early October. They cover the tree quite nicely, persisting through the winter months. Fall Color is not one of the primary ornamental features of this hybrid, leaf coloration is still quite nice in the fall. Changing from its lustrous green to a golden yellow, the foliage picks up traces of red, purple, and maroon. The outer bark of this hawthorn is beige-gray, but exfoliates off in sheets or patches to expose a warm cinnamon underbark. This characteristic will form on branches as they mature. Younger branches are silver-green in color, sparsely bearing 1" thorns.

Problems:

This hawthorn is not plagued with most of the problems common to other members of its genus. Despite its high resistance to rust on the foliage, the fruit may still become infected with the unsightly disease.
