Rhaphiolepsis umbellata minor 'Gulf Green'
Indian hawthorns are grown for their attractively neat, mounded form and clusters of flowers. The fragrant, pink or white crabapple-like flowers open in clusters above the foliage in Mid-April to May.
Bluish-black berries appear in Late Summer and persists through the Winter.
The leathery, dark evergreen leaves are rounded, about 2" to 3" long, turning purplish in winter.
