Winter King Hawthorn
Crataegus viridis 'Winter King'
'Winter King' hawthorn is a small, tough tree that ranks among the best of the many hawthorn varieties for landscape use. Like the cockspur hawthorn, green hawthorn has thorns, but it grows to 20 to 30 feet tall and is rounded in habit. This tree develops a wide round to pyramidal crown and has persistent red fruits and multi-colored, flaky bark. It is used as a specimen plant in the landscape. White flowers appear in mid-May after the leaves emerge. Red fruits ripen in September and persist into the winter. Fall color can range from purple to deep red. The green hawthorn is a small ornamental flowering tree; its cultivar 'Winter King' is suggested for use. It is adaptable and suitable for planting in urban environments.

What customers say
Five-star reviews from neighbors and landscapers who have shopped Garden Gate.
Amazing quality trees, incredible customer service. There is a reason Garden Gate has all 5 star reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks so much for all of your help and for these beautiful trees!
This is the 3rd year we've bought trees from Garden Gate Nursery, each time we've been impressed with the knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness; even telling us, in one instance that what we need we could get somewhere else. We look forward to when they open to the public each year. We've bought 10-12 trees so far and all are doing great. We won't buy a tree anywhere else! Thank you! PS Even if I wasn't going to buy a tree, I'd still go out there every year just for the experience, it's huge and amazing!
Such a great experience and so happy we found this nursery! All of the people there were super friendly and the dogwood tree that we purchased is very healthy and beautiful! We will be going back.
Garden Gate Nursery has numerous tree species to choose from. During my visit, I couldn’t help but notice how healthy all trees looked, and how the grounds were so well kept. The staff was amazing to work with, and provided sound insight when deciding on the perfect tree for my space. I highly recommend using Garden Gate for your next tree purchase 👍😊👍
Thank you for this beautiful tree, it's a perfect fit. I am pretty sure all of our trees came from your tree nursery.
