Lavalle hawthorn

Crataegus x lavallei

Overview

Lavalle hawthorn (Crataegus x lavallei) is a small, deciduous tree with beautiful white flowers and bright red fruits. It grows to a height of about 3-5m and produces attractive, double-toothed, glossy green leaves. In spring, clusters of white flowers bloom, which are then followed by the juicy fruits by late summer. These fruits are a great source of food for birds and small animals. Foliage turns yellow and orange in the autumn before falling and creating a stunning display in any garden. Lavalle hawthorn is tolerant of a wide variety of soils and requires minimal maintenance.
