Crataegus viridis 'Winter King'
Choose Winter King Hawthorn if you want a compact ornamental tree with spring flowers, red fruit, and winter bark; the main tradeoff is thorns, so place it away from tight paths and play areas.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives more seasonal change than many small ornamental trees without needing a large footprint. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the tree for quick shade or fast structure. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is manageable with basic pruning, though thorns and fruit cleanup matter in high-use areas. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | It fits many residential lots, but it still needs clearance from walks, patios, and structures. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a specimen tree, not a plant to count on for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Winter King Hawthorn as a small specimen tree where winter detail matters and foot traffic is not tight around the canopy.
| Mature Height | 25 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 20 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8a |
| Spacing | 17.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, rounded, vase-shaped |
Yes, so give it space from paths, patios, and play areas.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
