A hawthorn tree with heritage and seasonal character
The Glastonbury Thorn Tree is a distinctive form of hawthorn, known for its unusual flowering habit and strong connection to British history. It brings a natural, settled feel to the garden, with a shape and rhythm that sits comfortably in the landscape.
Once established, it becomes part of the seasonal cycle, offering interest at more than one point in the year.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where a native or traditional tree is preferred. It works well in open spaces, wildlife-friendly planting or areas where a more natural character is desired.
It is often chosen by those who value heritage and subtle seasonal change rather than bold display.
A tree with an unusual flowering pattern
Unlike most hawthorns, the Glastonbury Thorn can flower twice in the year, once in spring and again in winter, depending on conditions. The small white flowers sit lightly along the branches, offering a quieter display.
As the seasons move on, the tree develops fresh green foliage and may produce berries, adding further interest and supporting wildlife.
