Crataegus x lavalleei 'Carrierei'

Crataegus x lavalleei 'Carrierei' is an impressive ornamental hawthorn that delivers season?after?season drama in a compact and graceful form. Its glossy, dark green foliage forms a dense, rounded crown, setting the stage for large clusters of crisp white flowers in late spring and a spectacular display of vibrant orange?red haws through autumn into winter that attract birds and add colour when little else does in the garden.Tough and adaptable, this hybrid thrives in a wide range of soils, tolerates urban and coastal exposure, and brings interest from spring blossom right through to winter berries, while in autumn its foliage turns brilliant crimson and bronze adding further appeal. With wildlife?friendly credentials and the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, it makes an elegant specimen or feature tree in any outdoor space. Ultimate height: 7m (23ft). Ultimate spread: 4m (13ft).
