[1]</a> Hawthorn leaf and flower have been used for heart failure, a weakness of the heart muscle that prevents the heart from pumping enough blood to the rest of the body, which can lead to fatigue and limit physical activities.<a href="
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/hawthorn/" TARGET="_blank"
[1]</a> There is scientific evidence that hawthorn leaf and flower are safe and effective for milder forms of heart failure.<a href="

Hawthorn Hill, a National Historic Landmark, is located at 901 Harman Ave. in Oakwood, Ohio. <a href="

Many species of hawthorn are native to Missouri, and because of the abundance of hawthorns in the natural landscape, it has been named the official state flower. (The species deserving this recognition is downy hawthorn, Crataegus mollis.)<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a> For landscape plantings, the Washington hawthorn and a cultivar of green hawthorn called `Winter King' have become the most frequently used.<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a> Washington hawthorn is somewhat disease resistant but the leaves and fruits of `Winter King' can be damaged by cedar-quince rust fungus.<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a> 'Winter King' hawthorn develops into a broad, flat-headed tree. It derives its cultivar name because the red-orange fruits persist with good color long into winter, often until March or when waxwings or other birds eat them.<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a> As single specimens, hawthorn trees may be shaped with single or multiple trunks. Attractive small red-orange fruits are produced in late fall and persist into the winter until severe cold turns them black or birds eat them.<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a> Insect and disease pests can ruin the ornamental value of many hawthorns, although the trees usually survive.<a href="
http://mdc.mo.gov/forest/urban/urbantre/1sm.html" TARGET="_blank"
[6]</a>
Lacebug is an insect that may feed on hawthorn leaves, causing serious leaf browning by mid- to late-summer.<a href="
