While this plant can provide a beautiful show of flowers in the spring, and colourful berries lasting into the winter, 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.
Phaenopyrum comes from Greek, meaning "resembling a pear", in probable reference to the flowers.
Crataegus phaenopyrum is almost native.
