It typically grows 15 to 30 feet tall with a rounded crown. Straight to zigzag, thorny stems are clad with 3 to 5-lobed, dark green leaves to 2 1/2 inches long. White 5-petaled flowers in clusters (corymbs) bloom in mid spring. Flowers are followed by red fruits (pomes to 1/2 inch long), containing a single seed, in fall. The fruit is sometimes called a Haw. The word Haw also means hedge, the Hawthorn being a thorny hedge. In the 1800s, English Hawthorn was widely planted in England as a hedgerow plant because of its thorns.Hawthorns are an important food for wildlife in winter, particularly thrushes and waxwings. The fruit of Hawthorn are edible but are commonly made into jellies, jams, and syrups, used to make wine, or to add flavor to brandy, rather than eaten fresh. They are pulpy and delicate in taste. The flower petals are also edible, as are the leaves, which if picked in spring when still young, are tender enough to be used in salads.Crataegus monogyna is one of the most common species used as the "Hawthorn" of traditional herbalism, which is of considerable interest for treating cardiac insufficiency by evidence-based medicine.
