Hawthorn Tree Supply & Installation

Hawthorn are small trees with very sharp spiny branches and deep lobed glossy green deciduous leaves in April which turn gold in colour, in the autumn.

In late May, early June an abundance of fragrant white flowers blossom out and are followed by deep-red coloured berries in the autumn.

Hawthorn hedgerows have been for centuries, and are still to this day, widely planted throughout the UK, by farmers and landowners to create livestock enclosures and property boundaries.

When fully grown, hawthorn create impenetrable sharp thorny barriers and havens for wildlife, providing food and safe shelter. Its berries known as ‘Haws’, provide nutrition for many small mammals and birds during the early winter months.
