Red Hall Tree - real name?
| | |
Posted by Stellinate 5 OH (My Page) on Tue, May 10, 05 at 13:11
| A friend has a single trunked tree that is in bloom right now (white). He says it also gets a few berries on it. He was told by somebody that it is called a Red Hall Tree, but of course I can find nothing listed by that name. It may be related to a hedge apple -etc although it is not exactly like that.
Can anybody help with the real name? |

| Could it be "haw" instead of "hall"? I think hall trees are nice in the foyer - for holding coats, umbrellas, hats etc. And they seldom need fertilization. |

| Note - for more information try a Google search on "red haw" or Crataegus (the genus that includes hawthorn trees). C. mollis is one of the trees commonly known as "red haw". |

| Thank you Eric. I agree that Hall Tree's are much easier to maintain and perhaps more functional in the house than out and certainly require far less fertilization. I appreciate the information as I had asked him to spell the name of his tree to do an internet search - I will inform him that he needs to hang his jacket on his current cultivar found near the edge of his woods unless he would rather just learn the correct name of it. Don't you just love how things get mis-represented with the English language? I knew the garden-forum people were the greatest and would come up with an answer for us. And thanks for the direct link/picture. |
