Cultivation and Propagation

Crataegus tripartita is a deciduous shrub that can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or layering. Seeds should be planted in the fall in a sunny location. Cuttings should be taken in the summer and rooted in a potting mix. Layering can be done in the spring by bending a low-growing branch to the ground and covering it with soil. The branch should be left in place until it has rooted, then it can be cut from the parent plant and transplanted.
