Winter King is an ornamental tree that makes an impressive statement either planted as a specimen or in groups. Showy spring flowers are followed by brightly colored fruits that persist through the winter, making this tree a true garden asset. Unlike the species this cultivar is mostly spineless, with an occasional sharply pointed spine throughout. It’s very adaptable and easily grown in well drained soils.
