Crataegus oxyacantha ‘Crimson Cloud’

Published: May 2010

Is a deciduous tree with glossy, green leaves and true to its name,  each May it is weighed down with huge numbers of red blooms, making the tree hazy with colour and fragrance. The edges of each flower are deep pink-red and they are made all the more attractive by the white centre of each flower. They have an unusual, rich fragrance that is very popular with all sorts of pollinating insects and can bee seen at Marks Hall by the Visitor Centre.
