May hawthorn thrives in partial shade to full sun with consistently moist, well-drained soil and benefits from a thick layer of mulch to retain moisture. It is a slow-growing native tree that requires minimal pruning beyond removing dead or crossing branches in late winter. Plant it in a spacious location where its attractive spring blooms and wildlife-friendly berries can be fully appreciated.
