Tuesday Tree – Pink Hawthorn – Me Thinks?

This tree is in bloom on the banks of Arklow’s Avoca River. We were lucky to catch it in full bloom, on a sunny May afternoon… which leads to another name… it may well also be known a Mayblossom… apt, don’t you think?

I’m of the opinion that this fine specimen is a crossed hybrid… beautiful but maybe sterile… I didn’t see much pollinator activity around the tree.
