Crataegus phaenopyrum
White flowers with pink anthers bloom in many-flowered clusters in early June. Bright, glossy red clusters of 1/4" fruit form in fall and are quite eye-catching. The fruit persists through winter. The habit is oval to rounded. New foliage emerges red-purple changing to lustrous dark green as it matures. Fall color ranges from orange to scarlet to purple.
Washington hawthorn provides nesting sites for birds, pollen and nectar, and berries for birds.
Can be used as a specimen tree or to soften the lines of a building. Thorns can be a problem if considering street tree use.
