View prices and availability
Toba'is a small tree with a round, semi-open crown with a height of 4-6 m. The twigs are brown and the old bark is grey-brown and slightly flaky. The branches have thorns, but at about 1.5 cm long, these are distinctly shorter than in both cross ancestors. The mid-green leaves are inversely ovate, 5-7 cm long and with 2- to 4 lobes. In May, the corymbs open semi-double flowers. These are white when opening, but turn light pink during flowering. The fruits are round, about 1 cm in size and red.
'Toba' was created in 1935 from a cross between Crataegus ×media 'Paul's Scarlet' and C. succulenta. This happened at Canada's Morden Experiment Farm. The hybrid was subsequently named after the place Morden. Has few soil requirements. The tree prefers to grow on loamy and sandy soils and does not tolerate paving. Suitable as a tree for wide avenues and streets, parks, squares, gardens, amusement parks and cemeteries. Hardiness zone 5
