Description

Crataegus laevigata 'Rosea Flore Pleno' (Double Pink Hawthorn)

This highly ornamental, small, thorny tree produces a mass of dusky-pink, double flowers in the spring, that are often likened to miniature pink roses and fill the area around the tree with their distinctive fragrance. The dark green, deeply-lobed leaves create an attractive foil for the beautiful blossom. In the autumn the foliage turns yellow and this is accompanied by small red berries (haws) that are popular with the birds. Cultivated since the 1830’s, the tree is very hardy and will thrive in most locations including exposed, coastal sites.

Height x spread in 10 years: up to 4m (13ft) x 3m (10ft).

More Info

This large genus of small to medium trees and shrubs is part of the Rosaceae (rose) family and includes a number or cultivated varieties that are grown for their white, pink or red spring blossom, orange-red berries in autumn/winter and autumnal foliage. The trees are very beneficial to wildlife. The blossom is popular with bees and butterflies and the fruits are loved by birds including thrushes and waxwings. Most varieties have thorns which provide a safe haven for nesting birds and other wildlife.

Crataegus are rarely affected by pests and disease and once established do not usually require any care or attention. Trees can be grown in full sun or partial shade and whilst they prefer a well-drained but moisture-retentive soil, they can also succeed in heavy clay and very chalky soils. Many varieties are also very tolerant to windy conditions, making them a good choice for coastal areas.

Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until late April). Where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
