Double Pink Hawthorn Tree
Crataegus laevigata 'Rosea Flore Pleno'
- A beautifully well shaped English Hawthorn tree which explodes in a stunning floral display in spring when its branches are covered in clusters of double, pink blossoms, contrasting with dark green, glossy foliage
- Small red haws appear in autumn, much to the delight of the birds, and the leaves turn to warm shades of orange, yellow and bronze
- A hardy, low maintenance deciduous tree which will thrive in even coastal, exposed, polluted or damp sites
- Grows to 4-8m tall and can be pruned to fit even the smallest gardens. Double Pink looks especially lovely as a specimen tree in a cottage garden and can even be used as hedging
- Beneficial to a range of wildlife including bees and other pollinating insects, birds and small mammals
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.
- Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.

Can I grow this in a pot?

The Double Pink Hawthorn Tree typically reaches a height of 6 to 8 metres, with a spread of 5 to 6 metres, although it can be maintained at a smaller size with regular pruning.

Double Pink Hawthorn Tree prefers full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive.

Double Pink Hawthorn Tree requires regular watering, especially during its first few years of establishment. Provide approximately 10 to 20 litres of water per week, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained.
