English Hawthorn (Crataegus Laevigata) 7 seeds

English hawthorn is a small, low-branched, round-headed deciduous tree from Europe. It bears showy clusters of white flowers in late spring, followed by small spherical fruits that ripen red in fall. The small, lobed, glossy dark green leaves do not brighten in fall. The stiff spreading or ascending limbs brandish long spines, which are beautiful when frosted with snow.
Although tolerating a wide range of conditions, this tree does best in well drained soil and full sun. It fares poorly in regions with hot humid summers. In moist climates it often suffers from leaf blight, which can defoliate trees by midsummer. Where it does well it makes a lovely specimen tree with year-round interest. Site this tree where its spines will not harm pedestrians and vehicles. It sometimes escapes gardens, and is considered a weed in some areas. (info source: Learn2Grow.com)
