- Very hardy, tolerating exposed sites, coastal winds, and urban pollution.
Interesting fact about HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha and crataegus laevigata are actually botanical synonyms referring to the exact same plant species commonly known as theMidland hawthorn, English hawthorn or woodland hawthorn.Crataegus laevigata is the current and valid botanical name.
Crataegus oxyacantha is an older name that is now largely considered ambiguous or a synonym, though it has historically been used to describe both C. laevigata and sometimes Crataegus monogyna (common hawthorn).
