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.
Yes, the fruit can support birds, especially later in the season.
No, use it as a focal tree, not a privacy plant.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
