Overview

Crataegus persimilis 'Prunifolia' (Prunifolia Hawthorn) - 9L Pot

This bushy tree in the hawthorn family has beautiful white flowers and broad leaves, which provide strong autumn colours. The fruits are bright red, and whilst the birds find them delicious, they can cause mild stomach upset if ingested, so best to leave them to your feathered friends. However, they will bring more wildlife to your garden, so you get to watch them all through the seasons.

Care guide

Advice on hot and droopy plants

If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don't worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it's hot that water evaporates.

Just give them an off-schedule watering and they'll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don't like extremes.

How your order will arrive

Packaging

We have developed an eco friendly polypot that is currently in use across our 9 litre range. This polypot has less than 20% of the plastic used by a regular pot, and is importantly recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling, encouraging a healthier root system.

All trees arrive in an extra thick cardboard box with a clamp to hold their pot in place. This prevents them from moving around on their journey.

Nursery staff will wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transportation. This extra protection prevents them from drying out, allowing for a flying start. We also use the same specialised box that our potted trees have to keep them nice and secure as they make their way to your home.

Please note: where your plant is supplied with a pot, your plant's 'Height on Arrival' includes the pot
