About the Western (Douglas) Hawthorn

A small native tree or multi-stemmed shrub, growing to 20 feet. Black berries are food for birds and other wildlife. This thorny shrub can create an impenetrable thicket and is good as a barrier to discourage trespassing. Good wildlife cover and erosion control. Likes some moisture in the soil and full sun to part shade.
