Crataegus ×lavalleei 'Carrierei' – Hawthorn

View prices and availability
Sometimes found as a sturdy shrub, but more often grown as a small tree. At first the crown has an ascending manner of growth but finally becomes irregular, more or less rounded. Up to 5 m broad. The crown looks heavy because of its denseness and the dark leaves. The leaves are glossy dark green and feel leathery. Reddish-green leaves appear on the spring shoots. The branches bear numerous large thorns, length approx. 4 cm. The white flowers emerge from pink buds in the spring. They are followed by an abundance of dull orange drupes that remain on the tree until winter. They are approximately 2 cm in diameter. The tree has a deep spreading root system. Stands up well to dry soils and atmospheric pollution.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
