  • Notes

Russian Hawthorn is a small ornamental tree that grows 12 to 24 feet tall and 6 to 12 feet wide. It's foliage is medium green and is finely cut; fall color is yellow. White flowers appear in clusters in late spring, followed by berries that ripen to a dark red in August. It's habit is more shrubby than tree-like, but it can be pruned to have a canopy.
