'Winter King' - A form that has burst onto the market in recent years, won many awards and been embraced by observers. The fall/winter fruit show can be spectacular, with red pomes that are profuse and persist late into the season. The habit is rounded, to 20' tall and wider, and the plant develops good fall color. White spring flowers and distinct gray bark are added assets. This plant is probably the most commonly available hawthorn on the market.
