Photo showing clusters of bright red hawthorn berries growing in the wild in a mixed thorny hedge / hedgerow at the side of the road. The berries are pictured in the late summer / early autumn, growing in the strong sunshine. Of note, the Latin name for common English hawthorn is: crataegus monogyna. Hawthorn berries should not be eaten raw, although they can be used in jam making and wine fermentation recipes.
