Hawthorn Bush....CRATAEGUS Sp

Just some pics I took of the Hawthorn Bushes in full fruit.
Most are along fence lines of farms and properties
The small haw berries are medicinal and make jam..I made some...still alive
Apparently the medicinal properties relate to cardiac disorders of nervous origin?
They contain triterpenic acids and flavinoids
In China they are sold as dried berries
But anyhow they are abundant now and BRILLIANT RED..like little crab apples
