Research Progress on Hawthorn Crataegus pinnatifida Cultivation Techniques and Landscape Application

Abstract

Hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida), as a deciduous fruit tree belonging to the Rosaceae family and the Crataegus genus, not only possesses rich edible and medicinal values but also is widely used in landscape greening due to its unique ornamental characteristics. Hawthorn in landscape greening is susceptible to the influence of various environmental factors, which not only affect its growth and development but also severely restrict its yield and fruit quality. Therefore, exploring the cultivation techniques of hawthorn is of great theoretical and practical significance for its application in landscapes. This paper reviews the research progress on the cultivation and management techniques of hawthorn and its application in landscapes, including aspects such as variety selection and breeding, cultivation techniques, disease and pest control, ornamental value, and application forms. By analyzing the existing research findings, in order to address the challenges brought about by global climate change, scientific basis and technical support are provided for the cultivation and landscape application of hawthorn.
