However...
On this one the shape and serration of the leaves seems different :whistle:
However... looking for more examples I see there are variations in different samples of this species, so I go for
Crataegus crus-galli var. inermis, also known as Crataegus crus-galli or Thornless Cockspur.
I see many nurseries sell them so seems to make sense.

Wait... in this one, the leaves seem directly attached to the twig, they have no stems.
I give up.... :pinch: :pinch: :pinch:
No, wait, this is the same and it DOES have stems!

Nope, it did not. Actually the fruit is green and it doesn?t have a smooth surface, but a rather spiky one.

As for the leaves in this picture they don?t look the same, actually there is another plant where I?ve seen mine that does look exactly like this image. It has exactly the same white flower pattern distribution and the red berries you meant with your link. Tomorrow I might post a photo for you to see it.

Yeah, right... Me too... Know what you mean. Oh... I also try to post a close up on the fruit tomorrow, but for now this one will do at least to see that the fruit is in fact green :dry:

Bob is going to warn you not to eat the seeds, as they are poisonous when ingested.
Couldn?t stop laughing for a while

No, I can not. As I said at the beginning of this thread... This is a tree that I will recover from the wilds, it will not be purchased in any store at all.

Will do Auk... I just couldn?t do it today... Tomorrow I?ll try to take those pictures. Thanks
