What is this tree? About 3*4m tall, lollipop shaped, with bark like a
cherry, but the fruit is more like a hawthorn. I'll need the Latin name

so I
can order it and get the right tree.

Could be a Crataegus like the previous poster said or it could be a

Sorbus.

Sorbus suecica looks a little like that - here a picture for comparison.

Heres a picture of a Crataegus oxyacantha for comparison

Hope thats of some help


I go for the Sorbus (Rowan/Whitebeam/Mountain Ash).
There is a widely planted pne that looks like the photo but I do not know
which species or variety.
