Where can i find an tree or scrub called a scarlet thorn-berry or scarlet hawthorn ?
Crataegus laevigata...Scarlet Hawthorn, or English Hawthorn, or Paul's Scarlet, Now I know it doesn't answer the where to get one part of the question, but now you know the Latin, and some common names for the tree and i hope it makes talkingto the garden center folks easier!
Reply:Ellsberry,Mo. There is a nursery there I worked at years ago"15" and they did have them ,then. It still is going stronge and I am sure they still have them. They had ones there I never heard of. I don't know if they have a web site, they might!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Reply:i would check some of the plant and flower companies, like spring hill or michigen bulb company, they have many trees and plants in there catalogs, to get them, punch up each name on search than go brouse through there on line catalog. hope this helps, good luck
Reply:I found the following link to help you narrow down the search...
Reply:local nursuries may have them, but you may call and ask them to order it for you, if they don't have it in stock. Also, local garden magazines which SELL plants may have them, but they are usually very small and take quite awhile to develop into a full sized plant. I would call your local nursery.
Reply:in a book
Reply:try your local shop, if they dont have it in stock sometimes they can order it for you
Reply:Internet
Reply:Try the Burpee's seed catalog. They sometimes have trees too.
Reply:Are you talking about Paul's Scarlet Hawthorn or Crataegus laevigata?


Your best bet for finding them locally would be to call your DNR (department of natural resources) office.
Reply:I looked by I cannot find any shrubs or trees by this name....there is a tree referred to as a Hawthorne tree but it does not fit the description that you stated....sorry hope someone is able to help you.....
