Thorns, or Hawthorns Crataegus 
These are all low-growing trees, with wide-spreading heads of rather shrubby 
appearance, and are very useful in the shrubbery border or screen of shrubs, both 
for their attractive profusion of flowers in May and for the thorn-apples which 
appear in bright colors in the fall. 
The varieties of the English Hawthorn have more of the usual habit of small 
trees and are useful as lawn specimens, in groups or in gardens. Many plants of 
the larger sizes of the other varieties may be trimmed up to form pretty miniature 
trees for special purposes, but in their early growth they have a bushy habit, 
making them very valuable in high borders of shrubs. 
Carriere’s Thorn Crataegus carrierei 
Becomes a most attractive small tree with pretty white flowers and brilliant 
orange-scarlet large thorn-apples, which are retained till late in the fall. Useful in 
the high border or as a small specimen on the lawn or in formal work.
