https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crataegus_crus-galli It is native to eastern North America from Ontario to Texas to Florida, and it is widely used in horticulture.
This is a small tree growing up to about 10 m tall and 8 m wide, rounded in form when young and spreading and flattening as it matures. The leaves are 5 to 6 cm long, glossy dark green in color and turning gold to red in the fall. The flowers are white and have a scent generally considered unpleasant. The fruits are small pomes that vary in colour, usually a shade of red. Most wild varieties of the tree are heavily armed in sharp thorns. The fruit is edible and can be made into jelly or crushed to make tea.
