Crataegus pinnatifida seed
LATIN NAME: CRATAEGUS PINNATIFIDA
COMMON NAME: Chinese Hawthorn
In the woods and the hedgerows of the north, the Chinese hawthorn grows as a small, thorny, deciduous tree with the lobed, glossy leaves and the flat heads of small, white flowers in the spring, the bright-red, glossy fruits with their white speckles ripening in the autumn and hanging into the winter. The plant grows a narrow, conical crown, growing to fifteen metres. Full sun brings out its best, in deep, fertile ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The Chinese hawthorn appears in the studies of the hawthorn tribe of the north, its red speckled fruits and its thorny branches keeping it in view in the work on the fruit trees of the old orchards and the medicinal fruits of the region. The research looks at the way the flat heads open in the spring, the red fruits ripen and hang through the winter, and the seed biology of the hard, stony seeds.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the orchard and the hedge, the Chinese hawthorn sets the bright-red, speckled fruits that have been candied on sticks in the winter markets of the east for centuries and steeped for the heart remedies of the region. The thorny tree makes a fine stock-proof hedge, and the tree makes the fine fruit tree, the medicinal tree and the tree of the cold, open garden. It is a tree for the open, sunny, deep and fertile place.
To grow the Chinese Hawthorn from seed, give the seeds a long, cold, moist spell of the harshest winter, then sow them.
Give the seeds a long, cold, moist spell of the harshest winter, then sow them, and keep the young hawthorns in the open, sunny spot. in pots of gritty soil, keep them lightly watered, and the young hawthorns rise in the open, sunny spot. The red fruits hang through the winter.

COMMON NAME: Chinese Hawthorn
The Chinese hawthorn is a handsome, dense, deciduous tree of the gardens, and its clusters of the white flowers and its bright, red, edible fruits have made it one of the most valued of the fruiting trees of the region. It grows into a low, spreading mat, to about sixty centimetres. It is a species of the flowering tree in the rose family, and it is native to the northern China, while it is grown for its fruit and its fine bloom, and it is known as the Chinese hawthorn.
The Chinese hawthorn belongs to the rose family, Rosaceae, and it is a species of the deciduous tree, native to the northern China, while it is grown for its fruit and its fine bloom, and it is known as the Chinese hawthorn. It is prized for its clusters of the white flowers and its bright, red, edible fruits.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The Chinese hawthorn has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the horticulture and the food science, since its bright, red, edible fruits and its fine, dense bloom have made it a valued tree of the garden and the orchard, and researchers have examined its cultivation, its yield and its many forms, while the growing of the hawthorn has drawn attention in the international horticultural and food press as a fruiting tree of the region. The plant has also been studied in the nutrition, since its tangy fruits are rich in the valuable nutrients, and researchers have examined the composition of the fruit, while the value of the hawthorn fruit as a food has been of continuing interest, and the fruit has been eaten fresh and made into the preserves and the drinks of the region. The species has also been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the traditional use, since the fruits and the flowers of the hawthorns have a long history of use in the folk ways of the many lands, and researchers have examined the plant and its constituents, while the traditional uses of the hawthorn have been of continuing interest, and the plant is best appreciated as a fruit tree and a subject of study rather than a casual remedy. For a tree of such generous fruit, the Chinese hawthorn has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the Chinese hawthorn is a generous tree of the garden. Its clusters of the white flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its bright, red fruits feed the birds and the wildlife, while its dense, leafy crown gives a fine cover and a shelter to the birds.
Its economic value is real. The Chinese hawthorn is prized for its bright, red, edible fruits, and its value has drawn attention in the international food and horticultural press as a fruiting tree of the region, while its fruits have been eaten fresh and made into the preserves, the pastes and the drinks of the many lands. For a grower, the Chinese hawthorn is a rewarding and generous tree, and for a gardener it brings a white-flowered, bright-fruited tree to the garden. The seeds are easy to start — give them a period of cold, damp storage in the fridge for a few weeks, then sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining soil, and theyll be sprouting steadily, growing on into a dense, white-flowered, bright-fruited tree.
