The Winter King Hawthorn, Crataegus viridis 'Winter King', introduced in 1955, provides white flowers that form against the lustrous green leaves. These are followed by red, 3/8 " fruit that stand out against Winter King's silvery frame. It fruits heavily when young and retains fruit throughout the winter. The silver-gray bark exfoliates with age, and when the leaves fall, this beautiful exfoliating bark is exposed. This tree proves its excellence by turning gold with traces of red and purple in autumn. It remains relatively free of pests and diseases such as scab and rust. Winter King works well in tight spaces so use as a hedge, single specimen, screen, or mass planting. If you want year-round interest in your garden or yard, this beautiful tree will not be disappointing!
