Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

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.

Flavor Profile (of the Fruit):

  • Flavor: Similar to the Red Azarole—mildly tart and sweet, like a tart apple.

  • Texture: Firm and fleshy.

  • Primary Uses: Best for processing into preserves, where it yields a lovely amber-colored jelly or jam. Also for fresh eating when fully ripe, syrups, and liqueurs.

Knowing how we measure the size?

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

  • A larger gallon size generally means:

    • A more established root system

    • A sturdier plant

    • Faster visual impact after planting

  • Example:

    • 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity

    • 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.


🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

  • Commonly used for:

    • Ornamental trees

    • Feature plants

    • Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.

  • Why choose Multi:

    • Fuller, more sculptural appearance

    • Strong visual presence even at younger ages

    • Popular for design-focused landscapes


🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

  • Commonly used for:

    • Shade trees

    • Street trees

    • Orchard and structural plantings

  • Why choose Stand:

    • Clean, classic tree form

    • Easier clearance for walkways and lawns

    • Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity


🌿 Choosing the Right Size

  • If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form

  • If you want long-term structure → Stand form

  • If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

FAQs

Q: What's the difference between the Red and Gold Azarole?
A: The primary difference is fruit color. The Gold Azarole produces yellow fruit, while the standard Azarole produces red fruit. Their flavor, hardiness, and uses are virtually identical.

Q: Do the yellow fruits make good jelly?
A: Yes, they make excellent jelly with a beautiful, clear golden-amber color and the same unique, tart hawthorn flavor.

Q: Is it self-pollinating?
A: Yes, like most hawthorns, it is self-fertile and will produce fruit on its own. Planting it near another hawthorn variety may increase fruit set.
