Hawthorn Berries
Crataegus
Hawthorn berries are small, red fruits produced by the hawthorn tree. They are rich in antioxidants and have been used in traditional medicine for heart health, as well as in jams and jellies.
Hawthorn berries are commonly found in hedgerows, woodlands, and scrublands across the UK. They thrive in a variety of soil types, particularly in sunny or partially shaded areas.
Hawthorn trees have thorns, which can cause injury during harvesting. It is important to wear gloves and handle with care.
