Hawtorn:
A showy, small tree, the hawthorn breaks into
clouds of white flowers in spring, followed by vivid fall color, and
long-lasting red winter fruits. The fruits, which resemble rosehips,
stand out in a snowbound landscape. Robins sometimes line the branches
in mid- to late-winter, harvesting the fruits.
Hawthorns prefer a well-drained, slightly acidic soil,
but are unflappable in heat and humidity.
