Can grow in a range from full sun to partial shade. They need at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day.
Regular watering schedule for the first six months. Once established, rainwater should be sufficient.
Should not need any extra fertilizer unless your entire lawn and garden have problems and needs regular fertilizing.
The Washington Lustre Hawthorn is a refined cultivar of the native Washington Hawthorn, valued for its upright oval form, glossy foliage, and strong multi‑season interest. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers, followed by bright red berries that persist into winter and provide excellent wildlife value. Its manageable size and adaptability make it an excellent choice for residential landscapes, streetscapes, and ornamental plantings.
1. Planting: This is a large landscape tree and as such, requires a bit of planning before planting. First, measure the area where you would like to plant your hedge or row. You will need the length of the area of planting to estimate the number of trees you need.
When planting, dig a hole for each tree that is three times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Place the tree, fill in around the tree with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, then mulch to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: For the first two weeks, water your new tree every other day by holding a hose around it and counting to 20. If you don’t have a hose, 2 large watering cans full of water will do (smaller trees may only need a light soaking so a single can may suffice).
Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, you’ll receive an email with a tracking number.
