| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Midland hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata), also called woodland hawthorn or mayflower, is a species of Hawthorn native to western and central Europe, from Great Britain (where it is uncommon, and largely confined to the Midlands) and Spain east to the Czech Republic and Hungary.
It is a large shrub or small tree growing to 8 m (rarely to 12 m) tall, with a dense crown. The leaves are 2-6 cm long and 2-5 cm broad, with 2-3 shallow, forward-pointing lobes on each side of the leaf. The flowers are produced in corymbs of 6-12, each flower with five white or pale pink petals and two or three styles. The fruit is a dark red pome 6-10 mm diameter, slightly broader than long, containing 2-3 seeds.

Hi Pawel
Nice capture of this beautiful red fruit. Good detail and lighting show off the detail of the fruit and leaves.
