Blackthorm is a Eurasian tree or shrub, 10 to 15 feet high, commonly cultivated for ornamantal purposes. It grows wild in clearings, among hedges, and along the edges of woods. The branches are very thorny and are covered with velvety hair when young. The small, alternate leaves are usually obtuse and range from obovate to ovate in shape. They are closed serrate and somewhat hairy on the veins beneath. In March and April, the small, white flowers grow profusely alone or in pairs along the branches. The harsh, astringent fruit is round, blue to black, and about 1/2 inch in diameter. It ripens in October.
