Report an issue with this species

Crataegus pinnatifida is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree from northeastern Asia with a neat, upright canopy and deeply-lobed foliage that turns yellow, orange, and dark red in fall. It produces ornamental white flowers that have a foul odor, followed by red pome fruits. This hardy species tolerates drought, wind, fire, and urban pollution, making it suitable for urban planting.
