Common Hawthorn

The common hawthorn, <em>Crataegus monogyna</em>, is a flowering shrub or small tree belonging to the family Rosaceae. This species has one of the widest distributions of any hawthorn, with its range encompassing Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, reflecting both its native Eurasian distribution and extensive introduction worldwide. <em>Crataegus monogyna</em> is typically found in hedgerows, woodland edges, scrubland, and disturbed habitats across a broad range of temperate climates. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating widespread and stable populations. The species produces white flowers in spring and small red berries, known as haws, in autumn, which provide important food resources for birds and other wildlife. No dietary information has been provided for this species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
