Crataegus monogyna

Hawthorn hedging (Crataegus monogyna) is a native plant to the UK and a countryside favourite that’s bursting with seasonal interest and wildlife benefits. In spring, the hedge comes to life with clusters of fragrant, white flowers that — similar to Privet — can be either sweet or spicy, depending on the person. These blooms are more than just fleeting colour, providing food for pollinators like bees and butterflies. As autumn approaches, the dark green, lobed leaves give way to bright red, edible berries (called haws), attracting local birds and are great for making your own jams! Even in winter, Hawthorn’s dense, thorny branches offer protection and nesting spots for animals while keeping unwanted visitors at bay.

Hawthorn hedging is a fast-growing species, putting on 40-60cm per year. This makes it an excellent choice for privacy screening, boundary planting, and wind protection. It also makes an effective intruder-proof hedge thanks to its strong framework and long, sharp thorns.

 It quickly establishes itself into a dense, low-maintenance hedge that responds well to pruning and thrives in a wide range of soil types — including clay, chalk, and sandy soils. Hawthorn is highly resilient to strong winds and pollution, making it a great choice for exposed rural sites and urban gardens.
