Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Red Flowering Hawthorn, Crataegus laevigata ‘Paul’s Scarlet’
Few deciduous specimens deliver the spring spectacle of Paul's Scarlet, its canopy smothered in deep crimson double blooms with a reliability that mature stock makes immediate. A refined classical form with genuine year-round presence across foliage, flower, and autumn colour.
Why Red Flowering Hawthorn
Spring flowering impact: Dense double blooms in vivid scarlet cover the entire canopy each spring, creating a bold seasonal statement.
Year-round structure: Spring flowers give way to rich summer foliage and warm autumn colour before a clean deciduous winter form.
Proven ornamental pedigree: A long-established cultivar with the track record to justify its place in prestige landscape projects.
Compact, architectural form: Reaches 4 to 6 metres with a naturally rounded canopy; proportioned for formal compositions without dominating surrounding elements.
Hardy and adaptable: Performs consistently across a broad range of temperate conditions and soil types.
Ideal Applications
Formal avenue planting: Planted in sequence along driveways or paths, Paul's Scarlet delivers a dramatic spring corridor of colour.
Specimen focal point: A single advanced tree commands attention during flowering season and anchors a landscape composition year-round.
Residential and estate entrances: Lends classical character and seasonal distinction to high-end property frontages.
Structured garden frameworks: Integrates cleanly into formal or heritage-influenced landscape designs where refined ornamental trees are required.
