Additional Information about the Hawthorne Fir Christmas Tree
Hawthorne FirCrataegus fraseri is deciduous and
a member of the rose family. The common name for hawthorne comes from haw,
which is an old English word for hedge. The trees name simply means thorny
hedge. After the British General Enclosures Act of 1845 hawthorn was used
extensively as hedgerow because of its thorny nature and quick growth, angering
peasants who no longer could enter the lands they previously roamed at will.
Its Latin name, Crataegus, means hardness, referring to the quality of the
wood.
The hawthorne is native to the Mediterranean region including north Africa and
all of Europe and central Asia, and now grows in many areas of North America.
It is a tree that rapidly changes due to hybridizing, which causes it to appear
in more than a thousand different species. Most of these are very difficult to
tell apart and even professional foresters place them into a group and do not
try to determine the exact species. Some of the more interesting, useful and
common hawthorns are reflected below. Prior to planting a hawthorne in your
area, check the species and note your hardiness zone before purchasing.
Although hawthorne is hardy, the hardiness range is diverse depending on the
species.
