View prices and availability
Crataegus laevigata 'Plena' is a tree with a dense, broad, more or less rounded crown and it grows up to 10 m in height. The trunk and branches are grey. The branches bear thorns approx. 2.5 cm long and viciously sharp. The leaves are a remarkable dark green and have 3 - 5 lobes. The double flowers grow in umbels and turn from white to dirty pink. 'Plena' is sterile and therefore produces no fruit. It prefers nutritious soils, not too moist. The soil must be sufficiently compact since the tree is sensitive to wind when the root system is not well developed. Can be used in parks, streets and gardens. Winter hardiness zone: 5a
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
