Description
- One of the most richly flowering native trees, Paul’s Scarlet is a hit in every season
- Compact and well shaped, it’s ideal for even small gardens
- Hard as nails. Laughs in the face of frost, poor soil, wind and pollution.
- Dark green, deeply lobed, glossy foliage that turns sunny yellow and bronze in autumn
- A mass of deep crimson red flowers appear in May & June with small red fruits (haws) in the autumn. You can make them into wine, cordial and jelly – or leave them for the birds to enjoy
- Perfect as a feature tree in your front garden or at the back of a mixed flower border, Hawthorn makes a great addition to a hedge too
- One of the best trees you can plant for native wildlife – bees love the flowers and birds come for the all-you-can-eat fruit buffet in autumn – the sharp thorns also give them a safe nesting place

- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single-use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch and are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
