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.

Another top notch signature work! The berries are so clear and three-dimensional looking that I keep expecting them to fall off onto my keyboard:) I've also often wondered what to call them, so now I know. Thanks for another visual treat and horticulture lesson. Excellent!
