A grey-barked woody plant maturing to about three times the height of a six-foot (1.83-meter) human and showcasing banch- or trunk-based thorns, lobed or serrated leaves, pink or white five-petaled flowers, and red berry-like pomes is how the hawthorn tree looks.

Specifically, the tree in question (Crataegus spp) can be considered a shrub or small tree. It grows to a mature height of 16-49 feet (5-15 meters). It has bark which ages from smooth to fissured, ridged grey. The surface of its branches or trunk is home to sharp thorns 0.39-4.5 inches (1-11.5 centimeters) long. The foliage may grow in clustered or spiral arrangements of leaves with lobed or serrated margins. The fruits - which follows five-petaled pink or white blooms - will look like little red berries even though scientists call them "pomes."
