Hawthorn - Crataegus phaenopyrum Cordata

Washington Hawthorn (Crataegus phaenopyrum) is a striking ornamental tree valued for its delicate spring flowers and vibrant autumn foliage. This deciduous variety produces clusters of small white blooms followed by brilliant red berries that persist through winter, providing colour and food for native birds.

Cordata grows 5–7 metres tall and adapts well to full sun or partial shade in well-draining soil. Hardy, disease-resistant, and drought-tolerant once established, it makes an excellent specimen tree, screen, or wildlife feature for Australian gardens.

Ideal for temperate regions seeking year-round visual interest and low-maintenance landscaping.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.

  1. Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
  2. Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
  3. A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
  4. Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
  5. Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
  6. Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
  7. Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
  8. Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.

Enjoy the beautiful roses!
