Red Sun Chinese Hawthorn

The tree arrived in very good condition with the whole root system. We planted it in our front yard successfully. It is growing very fast! This is the best tree we ever got in the past ten years. We will order trees from this nursery in the future.

I bought a red sun hawthorn tree in 2018, because I wanted to use its fruit to make the "ice candied haws" in our hometown. The potted hawthorn tree I used grew very well. Since 2020, we have made a lot of delicacies every year when its fruit is ripe, "hawthorn cake, canned hawthorn, candied haws", so happy!

Healthy Chinese Hawthorn Tree Arrived

This was my second time that I bought fruit trees from this farm. The tree I bought last year, grows super healthy. So I bought a Chinese hawthorn fruit tree from them again which was very hard to find in the market. Very satisfied with this new tree.

Plant came with nice girth and already budding out after 2 weeks

I grew up eating this fruit as a treat called 冰糖葫芦 as 8-10 of them were de-seeded, threaded through kabob sticks and coated with the clear colored melted rock sugar (冰糖) in a giant wok. The taste of the slightly tart fruit combined with the hard sugar coating was indescribable and unforgettable, an annual tradition of every winter/spring! I reserved a tree last year and got it in late March this year completely dormant as it came bareroot. Planted, it was about 4 1/2 feet tall and thicker than I had expected (like the thickness of a lipstick), which was a pleasant surprise. Forwarding a couple of weeks, it’s early April and it’s budding out nicely in several places. I plant to baby it and harvest some fruit some day so that I can recreate this childhood memory.
