As you can tell, “thorn” is very important to the shrub’s identity. The thorny branches of Hawthorn trees and shrubs are why they are often used as a barrier to keep cattle contained. 

There are a variety of different hawthorns, which all produce fruit that slightly differs in color, ranging from red to pink, and in flavor, with different levels of tartness. Hawthorn shrubs and trees typically grow to be anywhere between 15-50 feet tall depending on the variety. The leaves normally have lobed or serrated edges and grow spirally arranged on shoots.
