hawthorns
Prickly flowering shrubs
Hawthorns is the plural of hawthorn, a thorny shrub or small tree in the rose family, common in hedgerows and woodland edges.
Hawthorns produce clusters of white or pink flowers in spring and small red berries called haws in autumn.
The dense, thorny growth makes them useful for hedges: The property was bordered by old hawthorns.
