The Crataegus Lobata is an extremely common, huge plant and can be found anywhere near lakes. It blooms in early spring. It has huge, blunt tipped leaves, which are usually dark yellow. It also grows quite small flowers, which can be dark purple, light orange, purple and dark blue. These plants grow alone, but within a decent distance from each other, but it's no trouble to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as an energizer when eaten. As a defense mechanism the Crataegus Lobata grow slippery leaves to prevent insects from easily eaten them. They rely on cloning themselves by growing a new specimen to reproduce.
