Indian Hawthorn or India Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica) is an evergreen shrub in the family Rosaceae. The species is native to an area from southern China, Japan, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.[1] It is grown for its decorative pink flowers, and is popular in bonsai culture. The fruit is edible when cooked, and can be used to make jam.
Indian Hawthorn is a mainstay horticultural specimen in southern United States. It is often found in commercial as well as in private landscapes. Often it is trimmed into small compact hedges or balls for foundation plants. It has been successfully pruned into a standard form as well as small dwarf-like trees up to 15 feet in height. It is apt to develop leaf spot.

Ornamental Bush For ID : Lalbagh,Bangalore : 011213 : AK-2 : Attachments (5). 6 posts by 3 authors. I suppose Rhodomyrtus tomentosa Thanks for a possible id. I don’t think so. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa was posted by me from Peradeniya, Sri Lanka on our group earlier. Could this be Viburnum species? Not Viburnum sp. This is probably Rhaphiolepis indica, identified from another post from the same place Lalbagh, Bangalore. I guess this is not Viburnum sp. You are right.
This is not Viburnum.
Can we check with Raphiolepis indica of Rosaceae? Agree with Raphiolepis indica Yes. It is almost matching. Nevertheless clear photograph of the flowers is needed for confirmation.
