Paul's Scarlet was first discovered  in a Hertfordshire garden in 1858 and has proven to be a real favorite and  proven garden performer in its cultivation since. Hawthorns are easy to grow  and Paul's Scarlet will happily provide an abundance of spring flowers in  situations that other spring flowering trees might struggle. 

Crataegus laevigata 'Paul's  Scarlet' makes a neat round headed small to medium sized tree with graceful  arching branches. Each new spring bright green foliage emerges turning emerald  green as the summer unfolds. Clusters of double scarlet and crimson flowers  provide a showy long lasting spring blossom.
​
Crataegus laevigata ‘Paul’s  Scarlet’ is a prized tree for smaller spaces where dazzling flowers and a  regular rounded shape are required. It will perform in any soil, is an excellent  candidate for exposed situations and can also tolerate urban atmospheric  conditions. Fully hardy.
