All about Prunifolia Splendens hawthorn
While most hawthorns are at their best in spring, Prunifolia Splendens offers excellent autumn colours as the dark green leaves turn yellow and gold.
The small red haws stay on the tree well into autumn, and are a useful resource for wildlife.
The spring blossom is white.
Prunifolia Splendens is a good choice for coastal areas, as it tolerates salty winds.
Growing and Training
If you have rabbits in the vicinity be sure to protect the trees, as rabbits like to eat young hawthorn bark.
If planting 1-year bare-root hawthorns, cut the main stem at about 1.5m - 1.75m to stimulate side shoots the following year. Pot-grown trees have already had this formative training at the nursery and do not need pruning.
