All our trees are organically nurtured in The Present Tree's gardens where we never use harmful chemicals, just a blend of organic oils to ensure each tree naturally thrives.
This Hawthorn tree (Crataegus monogyna) is a small, deciduous tree which will thrive in any garden and naturally transforms with every season. In spring it has an abundance of pale, fragrant blossom that is wonderful for our bees and butterflies. Its dense foliage and thorny branches are perfect for birds to safely make their nests in summer. Then in autumn its 'haws' ripen before its leaves turn pale yellow and fall. Your Hawthorn tree will naturally be dormant and bare in winter until the warmth of our spring sunshine encourages new buds to grow.
Your Hawthorn tree is growing in an organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green-fingers required - just add daylight and water! We have added special nutrients to its compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will slowly release into the soil to ensure your tree continues to flourish.
