The Crataegus laevigata 'Paul’s Scarlet', commonly known as the Crimson Hawthorn Tree, is an award-winning ornamental tree that has long been a favourite among British gardeners for its impressive year-round display of colour and form. This compact, deciduous tree is well-suited to gardens of all sizes, offering a dramatic splash of deep pink to red double blossoms in spring, followed by a lush green canopy throughout the summer months. In autumn, the tree becomes even more captivating as its glossy leaves turn a rich red, while clusters of bright red berries develop, providing a beautiful contrast to the autumn foliage. These berries not only enhance the tree's visual appeal but also attract birds and other wildlife. With minimal care required, the Crimson Hawthorn is ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance beauty and seasonal interest in every season.
