Add item to quote to see pricing

Crataegus viridis 'Winter King' is the patchwork quilt of the garden's beauty, illustrating nature's artistry with every seasonal turn. Its emerald-green leaves, glossy in the summer days, transform into a fiery palette of scarlet and purple in the autumn, lighting up any landscape. Come winter, it dons a snowy garland of bright red fruits, a lively banquet that lures diverse birds. The 'Winter King' isn't just a winter wonder, though. In spring, it adorns itself with dreamy clusters of white flowers, their charm and elegance radiating vibrantly. Resilient as it is beautiful, this medium-sized tree stands proudly at a height of 20-35 feet, its broadened crown rivaling the finest parasols in nature. It basks in full sun but is just as comfortable under the dappled shade, proving its adaptability in most soil types. Our Crataegus viridis ‘Winter King’ is not just a four-season protagonist, but a visual narrative that serves as a splendid focal point or a stylish hedge teammate. Its bark, an artist's palette of subtle hues, peels to reveal a fascinating texture, an intriguing encore to its ever-changing beauty. Serving aesthetic appeal, durability, and environmental benefits, this tree commands more than just a place - it demands an audience in any garden setting.
