Hawthorn is a large genus of shrubs and trees in the rose family. They are shrubs or small trees, mostly growing to 5-15 m tall, with small pome fruit and (usually) thorny branches. The most common type of bark is smooth grey in young individuals, developing shallow longitudinal fissures with narrow ridges in older trees. The thorns are small sharp-tipped branches that arise either from other branches or from the trunk, and are typically 1-3 cm long. The leaves grow spirally arranged on long shoots, and in clusters on spur shoots on the branches or twigs. The leaves of most species have lobed or serrate margins and are somewhat variable in shape. The fruit, sometimes known as a "haw", is berry-like, but structurally a pome containing from 1 to 5 pyrenes that resemble the "stones" of plums, peaches, etc. which are drupaceous fruit in the same subfamily.
Hawthorns provide food and shelter for many species of birds and mammals, and the flowers are important for many nectar-feeding insects
The leaves are edible and, if picked in spring when still young, they are tender enough to be used in salads.
Hawthorn products have significant traditional medicinal uses. "Hawthorn leaf and flower extract monopreparations" have received endorsement in evidence-based medicine for treating chronic heart failure
The dried fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida are used in naturopathic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, primarily as a digestive aid. Other species (especially Crataegus laevigata) are used in Western herbal medicine, where the plant is believed to strengthen cardiovascular function[10]. In recent years, this use has been noted and adopted by Chinese herbalists as well Hawthorn is also used as an aid to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and treat some heart related diseases.

a beautiful spectacle.
You took a photo with splendid spectacular
composition and amazing lights.
Great perspective and excellent realization,
pleasant for look at.

Have a nice day,

Hi Selahattin,
A very nicely composed photo. Your colors are very natural, and lighting is excellent showing all these details. In the U.S we have a bush similiar called the "Pyracantha" - I would be interested to see if he holds similar medicinal purposes. Thanks for the great notes and the wonderful photo. Julie

Hello Selahattin,
Superbe présentation, composée avec beaucoup de talent.
Les couleurs sont chaleureuses bRavo.
Amicalement.

Good morning Selahattin
I love how you made use of the photo for your blurred background almost looking like a gradient.
Making the presentation into a window and interlacing the berries, a very neat idea.
You have great creativity and the results are always a delight to see.
