Where do hawthorn trees grow?

Hawthorn grows best in full sun and average, well-drained soil. Plant nursery-grown trees in early spring or early fall. After planting, water them well and cover the soil around the tree with a 2-inch-thick layer of mulch to prevent weeds and soil-moisture evaporation.

Two species, Crataegus erythropoda and C. rivularis are native to Arizona and throughout the temperate, intermontane regions of western U.S. coastal ranges and the Rocky Mountains. These small shrubs and trees grow on hillsides or in riparian habitats along stream banks and in moist canyons.
