plant sale text: Parsley hawthorn is a beautiful small native tree that is under-utilized as an ornamental. It reaches a height of approximately 20 feet and achieves a spread of 4 feet. The distinctive foliage of this plant is accented by white flowers in the spring and red fruit in late fall. The fruit is a valuable food source for wildlife, and the tree's branches provide shelter. Hawthorns do well in sunny locations. This species is commonly found in alluvial woods and swamp forests and can handle average to wetter soil conditions. Parsley hawthorn is one of the signature plants of the Coker Arboretum and was originally planted there by the late Dr. William Chambers Coker.
