Syn: Crataegus laevigata ‘Coccinea Plena’
Description: ‘Paul’s Scarlet’ is a small, rounded deciduous thorny tree with lobed, glossy green leaves turning yellow and bronze in autumn. Produces masses of deep scarlet-pink, double flowers in May and attractive small red haws in the autumn.
History: Originated in 1858 as a sport of Crataegus Rosea Flora Pleno, growing in the garden of Mr Christopher Boyd, near Waltham Cross. It was propagated by Wm. Paul and shown by him at the International Horticultural Exhibition of 1866. Received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
Crataegus Growing Tips: Will tolerate a wide range of soils as long as they are well-drained, urban pollution and coastal conditions. Extremely hardy and ideal for the smaller garden. Prefer full sun or partial shade.
