This compact tree grows up to 6m (20ft) tall, with a rounded, slightly thorny shape that creates a dense, natural screen. Its lush green foliage offers privacy and shelter, while its strong branches provide an excellent framework for year-round interest. In autumn, the tree is adorned with clusters of bright red berries, attracting birds and wildlife. A hardy and beautiful choice for creating a focal point or hedge, the Paul’s Scarlet Hawthorn thrives in a variety of garden settings, adding both beauty and function.
