Cultivation and Propagation

Crataegus turnerorum is a deciduous shrub that can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or layering. Seeds should be planted in the fall in a sunny location.

The branch should be left in place until it has rooted, then it can be cut from the parent plant and transplanted.
