Roem., Malus niedzwetskyana Dieck., Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. f. pissardii Bailey та Pyracantha coccinea (L.) M. Roem. A high score of decorativeness (51-64 points) is assigned to most species of the family. Mediocre decorativeness (41-50 points) is characteristic only Cerasus incana (Pall.) Spacb. and Chaenomeles maulei (Mast.) Schneid., mainly due to the architecture of the crown, which is often low-decorative without formative pruning.
