Crataegus laevigata Rosea Flore Plena

Common Name:
Double Pink Hawthorn

Description:
Crataegus laevigata 'Rosea Flore Plena' is a beautiful small deciduous tree renowned for its abundant clusters of double, soft pink flowers in spring. The charming, rose-like blossoms contrast elegantly with its glossy, dark green, lobed foliage, creating a stunning seasonal display. As autumn approaches, the leaves turn golden-yellow before falling, and small red berries appear, attracting birds and wildlife. This hardy and adaptable tree thrives in well-drained soil and is tolerant of pollution, coastal conditions, and moderate drought. It is an excellent choice for compact gardens, street plantings, or as a feature tree in mixed landscapes.
