Lavalle Hawthorn - Crataegus X lavallei

The Lavalle Hawthorn (Crataegus X lavallei) is a medium sized flowering tree for landscapes and gardens. This is once of the larger varieties of Crataegus, with supposed disease resistance, but I am yet to see on without it. The tree is very thorny and prone to fire blight. The flowers are often considered '"stinky", and it rarely achieves fall color due to fungus. This plant is a cultivated hybrid of Crataegus stipulacea and Crataegus crus-galli.
