Crataegus laevigata 'Paul's Scarlet'
Paul's Scarlet English Hawthorn

Culture: This cultivar is extremely susceptible to leaf spot or leaf blight which almost defoliates the tree by mid-summer. If a similar effect is desired, consider the cultivar 'Crimson Cloud', which has slightly less showy single red flowers, but better resistance to the leaf blight.
