The Crataegus laevigata ‘Rosea Flore Pleno‘ Tree, also known as Double Pink Hawthorn, is a delightful native and wildlife-friendly species.
In spring, an explosion of dainty pink flowers appear on this majestic-looking tree. The blooms are almost rose-like in appearance and have the added bonus of having a wonderful sweet fragrance that is loved by butterflies, bees and other pollinators.
In autumn, small and delicate, scarlet-coloured berries appear which look beautiful and are an excellent food source for birds and wildlife. Native to Britain, this Crataegus species is award winning too, as it has received the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit for reliability and consistency in the garden.
To enjoy your Crataegus for many years to come, simply plant it in a bright and sunny location in your garden, in fertile and well-drained soil. This variety is slow growing and therefore suitable for a wide range of garden sizes.
