Description: Crataegus x media ‘Punicea’ is often confused with ‘Crimson Cloud’ but is actually a variety in it’s own right. Creates a dense, spreading tree with glossy, dark green foliage. Profuse small single, fuchsia pink flowers appear during May, the lightly scented blossom is very popular with bees & butterflies. The flowers are similar to Crimson Cloud but have less white in the centre, later they develop into tiny red berries in the autumn, which are great for attracting birds.
Crataegus Growing Tips: Will tolerate a wide range of soils as long as they are well-drained, urban pollution and coastal conditions. Extremley hardy and ideal for the smaller garden. Prefer full sun or partial shade.
Height and Spread (after 20 years): 5m x 4m.
