Description

The Gold Azarole Hawthorn offers a stunning twist on the classic, bearing beautiful clusters of golden-yellow fruit instead of the typical red. This rare and ornamental selection shares all the rugged, adaptable traits of its species, thriving with minimal care in hot, dry sites where other fruit trees struggle. The pale yellow berries provide a softer, elegant autumn display and can be used interchangeably with the red variety to create unique, amber-colored preserves and cordials. It’s a conversation-starting tree for the edible landscape enthusiast.

• Prized for its unique, attractive clusters of golden-yellow fruit.

• Shares the excellent culinary qualities of the Red Azarole, perfect for light-colored jellies, jams, and liqueurs.

• Blooms in late spring with classic fragrant white hawthorn flowers.

• Exceptionally tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soils once its roots are established.

• Features the same handsome, glossy, serrated foliage as the species.

• A fast-growing, small to medium deciduous tree, slightly larger than the red-fruited form at maturity.
