Default Crataegus Oxyacantha "Rosea Flore Pleno" (Hawthorn)

...
I would like to plant a Hawthorn tree in the centre of my lawn but I am
unsure which one to buy.

The Rosea Flore Pleno looks a very attractive tree but I would also like a
good display of red berries in the autumn. Does this variety produce red
berries? If not could someone recommend the best variety which will

produce
flowers in the spring and red berries in the autumn.

Many thanks.

Les


Hello Les,
I grow, and can *highly* recommend Crataegus Prunifolia. It flowers well in
spring, berries reliably in autumn *and* has wonderful autumn leaf colour as
a bonus. It is magnificent!
