The common hawthorn tree, with its striking appearance, deserves a more elegant name.
Featuring graceful white or pink blossoms, bright red berries called haws, and foliage that turns golden in autumn, this thorny tree is a must-have for any garden.
Hawthorn berries are perfect for making tasty jellies and tangy sauces like haw-sin. They are ready to harvest when they feel slightly soft.
The flowers grow in flat clusters, the leaves are deeply lobed, and the branches are adorned with sharp thorns, which contribute to its common name.
Recognized by the RHS as a Plant for Pollinators, the hawthorn tree supports hundreds of beneficial species, including bees, moths, fieldfares, and dormice.
