Report an issue with this species
Crataegus phaenopyrum, commonly known as Washington hawthorn, is an ornamental tree that can reach up to 10m (32 ft) in height. Its small red berry-like fruits grow in clusters, providing food for squirrels and birds. It is adaptable to ordinary soils with moderate moisture and is relatively resistant to fireblight compared to other hawthorns.
