Crataegus prunifolia ‘splendens’ specimen multistem

Description

Crataegus prunifolia ‘splendens’ or ‘frosted thorn’ is an extremely useful specimen tree which provides interest for much of the year. With dark green broad leaves and a beautiful display of white blooms in the late spring. Later in the year it will give a wonderful display of Autumn colours with red fruits that last into the winter providing some much needed colour at this time of the year. A favourite amongst pollinators and gardeners alike. With a mature height of only 4 to 5 meters it is perfect for a small garden or a centre piece in a large bed.

Fully hardy and suitable to most  sites as long as they are well drained, including coastal areas.

Received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 2002
