Our RHS Premium Hawthorn (Crataegus Monogyna) is a fast growing, thorny native deciduous hedge, with dark glossy green leaves.
In spring, clusters of prominent scented white flowers burst into leaf within a few days of the initial buds appearing, followed by glossy red haws in autumn, which sustain out native birds. The leaves are 3,5 or 7 lobed, bright green tinged with red. Prune out old growth after flowering to encourage new stems that will bloom the following year, taking care not to remove flowering stems.
