While this plant can provide a beautiful show of flowers in the spring and colourful fruit in the fall, careful placement of this plant should be heeded, as the thorns can cause injury. Grown as a shrub, it can be used as a barrier for unwanted animals. It can be grown as a specimen tree or multi-stemmed shrub.
Native to Ontario and parts of North America.
Crus-galli in Latin means "leg of a cock", in reference to the purported resemblance of the thorns to a cock’s spurs.
