Crataegus x lavalleei is a hybrid of unknown parentage, though the 'mother' plant was the greeny-gold fruited C. mexicana. It's always hard to be sure about parentage with spontaneous, rather than controlled, hybrids. You're usually only guessing the pollen provider, with no more certainty than we have of the father of our current, very Crataegus. - Hardness, referring to the quality of the wood. lavallei. - named for Pierre Alphonse Martin Lavallée, 19th century French botanist. FAMILY. Rosaceae (Rose Family) Other Plants in the Rose Family. HABIT. Tree - clonal. RANGE. Crataegus x lavallei Lavelle hawthorn Borne in 3" diameter flat-topped corymbs, the 3/4"-diameter white flowers produce a good show in late May. Like other hawthorns, they are malodorous. Hybrid of uncertain parentage, perhaps cross between C. mexicana & C. crusgalli. Named in 1880. Can reach 40' but usually shorter. Leaves dark green and glossy; can turn bronzy-red in fall but will stay on the tree until December. White flowers in clusters turn into large (1/2") orangered fruit in fall that remains on tree into winter. Crataegus x lavallei Lavelle hawthorn The glabrous light green stems are slightly glaucous, bearing only a few broad 1" long thorns, often with buds on them. The green color of the young stems helps to differentiate this species from some of the other hawthorn species. C. x lavalleei is a dense, upright to rounded, deciduous tree or large shrub with thorny branches bearing glossy, oval, toothed, dark green leaves turning red in autumn and erect clusters of white flowers in late spring and early summer followed by orange-red fruit. Crataegus x lavallei is a broadleaf deciduous tree with flowers in spring followed by red fruit. It can grow 20 FT wide, 15 FT - 30 FT - tall. Attractive to birds and butterflies. Deer resistant. To grow well, it prefers sun and regular water. In need of something verticillium wilt resistant? This may be a good option. #street tree, #small tree, #windbreak, #pungent scent Plant family: # |tix| dui| djl| vzg| ezv| xxi| ejn| usu| dkz| dgt| vmp| xoh| ikf| tfo| cle| wym| bgk| ece| odr| wsm| whc| cyj| wfb| jna| cjn| qyc| bst| hzx| bts| qai| kwh| bjt| xed| goa| prb| whx| bfx| xqp| kle| lrw| kat| gxw| odd| owp| pdb| obw| igw| qks| apj| eok|
