The small fruited hawthorn is in bloom

The small-fruited hawthorn is in bloom. This undemanding tree is always beautiful, both during flowering and when the fruit is ripening. Birds love to feast on the fruit of this hawthorn. Its lifespan is astonishing – many specimens live up to 200–300 years, while maintaining their ornamental beauty and fruit-bearing capacity.
