A vigorous ornamental tree valued for its abundant red berries. This fast-growing, deciduous hawthorn has an upright habit with long thorns and oval, glossy green leaves that turn gold in autumn. Clusters of small white spring flowers are followed by large, spherical, fleshy red berries in autumn that are beneficial to birds. Native to North America, 'Jubilee' provides year-round ornamental qualities along with landscape resilience and is an excellent choice for gardens or urban areas due to its tolerance to various soils, drought (once established), pollution, and resistance to fire blight.
Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
