Common Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna)

The Common Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) is a small deciduous tree or shrub native to Europe and North Africa. It typically grows to a height of 5-12 meters and adapts well to various soil types, though it prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils. It loves sunlight but can tolerate light shade. It blooms with white flowers in early spring, leading to red berries in autumn. It's commonly used for hedging, and its fruits are used in jams and other food products.

Its wood is very hard and makes very good firewood.
