CRATAEGUS MONOGYNA ‘COMPACTA’

Crataegus monogyna ‘Compacta’, commonly known as the miniature hawthorn, is a slow-growing, compact tree perfect for small gardens, urban spaces, and wildlife-friendly landscapes. This diminutive variety reaches just 40cm in height over 8 years, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.

In spring (AprilMay), it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers, followed by vibrant red haws in late summer (AugustOctober), providing an essential food source for birds and wildlife. Even in winter, its architectural form and skeletal structure add seasonal interest.

A hardy, adaptable tree, ‘Compacta’ thrives in any well-drained soil, in sun or partial shade. Its drought-tolerant, resilient nature makes it ideal for hedging, bonsai, or specimen planting.
