Item description for 5 of Littlehip Hawthorn Seeds | Crataegus Spathulata Florida Native Tree Wild

The Hawthorn tree's grow natively all over most of our farms.
Most people will rip them out right away because the spikes are terribly long & sharp!
When the leaves fall off in the winter-time, the branches look like what went around Jesus' head during crucifixion.
It will put a hurting on you when walking by. Also, it tends to flatten the tires of lawn mowers & tractors.

We love our many hawthorn trees and haven't taken 1 out!
Some of our older trees are over 30 feet tall!!

The many white flowers in the springtime smell so sweet!
We love walking around the paths smelling the scent in the breeze.
Many bees & butterflies love to visit the blooms.

When the flowers are done, little green fruits will start to appear.
Throughout summer they will get larger and start to turn a yellow / red color.
They look like little apples!!

The fruit has really no flavor, kind of bland actually.
The Hawthorn berry is used medicinally, but be careful if you take blood thinners.
Also, like cherries, the seeds contain cyanide. Be sure to not eat them!!
