The Parsley Haw is a distinctive and attractive small tree with shiny green dissected parsley-like leaves. The white flowers with red stamens appear in spring and are followed by red fruit. It is native to Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of southeastern U.S. where it occurs on moist sites. It is one of the easiest Hawthorns to identify and is a very nice ornamental small tree for average garden and residential property soils.

Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. For optimal growth and flowering, ensure the plant receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates, but flowering may be reduced.

Soil Requirements: Thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Incorporating organic matter such as compost can improve soil fertility and structure. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils, as long as they are well-draining.

Watering: Requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Established plants can tolerate short periods of drought but perform best with consistent moisture. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Temperature and Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 6-9. Prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It is adaptable to various climates within its hardiness zones but should be protected from extreme cold and heat.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. An annual application of compost or well-rotted manure can further enhance soil fertility. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree. Light pruning helps maintain a tidy appearance and promotes better air circulation. Remove any suckers that emerge at the base of the plant to maintain its shape.

Pests and Problems: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids, scale insects, and borers. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regularly inspect the tree for any signs of disease or pest infestation.
