🌱 Buy Hawthorn Saplings – Crataegus monogyna Hedging Plants for Wildlife and Colour
The Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) is a tough, fast-growing native tree or hedging plant that’s ideal for boundary planting, rural landscaping, or wildlife-friendly gardens. Known also as Quickthorn or May Tree, it produces clouds of white blossom in spring and bright red berries in autumn, supporting birds, bees, and other pollinators.
Perfect for dense, thorny hedges, it creates an excellent natural barrier. Folklore has long associated Hawthorn with protection and fertility, and it remains one of the most popular choices for living hedgerows in the UK.
Our Hawthorn saplings are currently 20–40cm tall and suitable for planting at any time of year. Planting a hawthorn hedge? Plant at a rate of 4 plants per metre single row or 6 plants per metre as a staggered double row (zig zag).

We ordered 90 Hawthorn plants for a hedge we are planning alongside our miniature Shetland Pony paddock. I was expecting bare root plans but we received each plant packed in its own earth root ball, this made it so very easy to plant them. We will be ordering a similar amount of Dog Roses later this year. Well impressed with this company. Thank you.

Superb saplings!
I ordered some of these Hawthorn saplings recently, they arrived within a couple of days and they're superb, well-established and of five-star quality. They've now been planted for a couple of weeks and despite the heat they're thriving wonderfully. So pleased with them!
