Common Hawthorn - Crataegus Monogyna

This Common Hawthorn (the latin name for which is Crataegus Monogyna) is one i found just outside Longford Park. Although there are no leaves present due to the time of year being early spring, we are able to identify the deciduous tree because of the nature of the surrounding fruits. When freshly grown, the berries are usually bright red and more rounded.
