We had an Indian Hawthorn tree in Odessa, Texas (zone 7 - hot dry summers). It was in our yard 11 or 12 years and was eight to ten feet tall. Spring blooms were pink and spectactular. I don't know what cultivar it was.
Found this information as well. Would like the darker colored leaf. Ulrich, can you tell me which selection is yours?

An outstanding evergreen garden shrub, useful for urban gardens as most varieties are 5' or lower. Can be pruned easily to stay even smaller. Only R.'Majestic Beauty' is large (15'). Nice flower sprays with small, dark blue berrylike fruit. Few pests, sometimes aphids or leaf-spotting in cold wet weather. Will accept infrequent or lawn watering, but in desert areas best to provide some shade. 'Ballerina' has pink flowers, stays low and compact (about 2'T x 4'W). Leaves have reddish tinge in winter. 'Hines Darkleaf' has coral pink flowers, averages 6'T x 4'W, leaves are very dark-green and glossy.
