Aim of the study: This study was conducted to determine seed morphologies and the effects of pretreatments on germination of common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jac.) and azarole (Crataegus azarolus var. pontica (K. Koch.) K. I. Chr) seeds. Material and methods: Ripe fruits of the common hawthorn and azarole seeds were collected from trees growing in Hatila Valley and Pamukcular Village in September 2016 in Artvin, Turkey.
