Crataegus intricata, also known as Copenhagen Hawthorn or Thicket Hawthorn, is a beautiful deciduous shrub that can grow up to 3 meters tall. Its white flowers bloom in May, followed by brown to red fruits that ripen in September, and are edible both raw and cooked. This shrub is native to eastern Canada and the eastern United States, and it is adaptable to many growing conditions, tolerating a wide variety of sites, different soil types, and even atmospheric pollution. Additionally, it is great for stabilizing banks, erosion control, and environmental plantings, serving as excellent food and cover for wildlife. Its wood is heavy, hard, tough, and close-grained, making it useful for handles, mallets, and other small items. Medicinally, its fruits and flowers were traditionally used as a heart tonic, and modern research has supported this use. If you are looking for a beautiful and adaptable shrub that also offers ecological and medicinal benefits, Crataegus intricata might be a great choice for you.
