tree id request
Yesterday I passed a flowering tree alongside a country road. I'm
assuming it was planted - some of the other trees there, such as large-leaved limes would have been planted. It's not a tree I recognise, but it looks as if it belongs to family Rosaceae and subfamily Maloideae. However it's rather late flowering for an apple, pear or whitebeam, which were my first thoughts. Anyone recognise it? http://florulaehortenses.blogspot.co...eous-tree.html -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Looks like Crataegus x lavallei. It's a fine small tree that really
should be more widely grown. The late spring/early summer flowers are followed by very showy red berries and glossy foliage takes on very rich bronze and red shades in autumn. Even the bark becomes very attractive on mature specimens, so it has something to offer throughout the year. |

I guess it was the late-flowering that threw me - even the plants round the corner that I've got down as Crataegus prunifolia have finished flowering, never mind the common hawthorn. Now to wonder what it's doing on a country road side. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

People have been known to add to the biodiversity of country road-sides with shrubs/trees surplus to requirements...
