November 29, 2019 – Winter King Hawthorn

Check out Court Four on the Medford Campus, to enjoy the Crataegus virirdis Winter King Hawthorn trees, with their full complement of brightly colored berries. These specimen trees share multiple points of interest throughout the year. The spring offers flowers, showy berries in the fall, and in the winter the exfoliating bark is wonderful for visual interest. The birds are always most appreciative of the feast the berries give them.
