The common hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna, belongs to the rose family, just like the blackthorn. Throughout the spring, during the months of April and May, you can see beautiful white flowers. The leaves are pinnately lobed, and the shrubs have thorns. In the past, hawthorn was widely used to fence off meadows and grasslands. In some landscapes, you can sometimes find pruned hawthorns with very thick trunks that may be hundreds of years old. The hawthorn is a good species for birds and other animals, which can find shelter among the leaves and under the branches.
