A native of many western states, Douglas hawthorn is to be found in moist habitats. Often forming a thicket, this small tree bears white flowers, red fruits and thorny branches--a great plant for attracting birds. Fall color can feature shades of orange or red and the fruits themselves are showy after leaf drop.
