I bought some and know their height and that they have a white bloom -Does anyone know if they have thorns and if they stay green in the winter time?

Can you tell me anything about the Indian hawthorn -do they have thorns?
they do not have thorns because they are considered to be a shrub, and their leaves turn purplish in the winter, but the cold can damage them sometimes. i hope that helped.
Reply:Indian hawthorne, or Raphiolepsis indica, does not have thorns. They should stay green throughout the winter. Indian hawthorne are notorious for getting entomosporium leaf spot. This isn't really a horrible disease for this plant. It will typicaly grow out of it, provided the conditions for fungal growth are removed.
Reply:In the south indian hawthorne are evergreen. They do not have thorns, however they are prone to leaf spot and the deer will eat them to the root.
Reply:No they don't have thorns but they do have berries that birds love. Mine are fine all year long, but I live in Florida.
Reply:Yes they are zone 8 and south, they will stay evergreen easily sheared, and deer love them. No thorns
