Sources

This light to semi-shady plant grows in deciduous and mixed forests, on forest edges, hedges, copses and rocky slopes on dry to fresh soils. The hawthorn is soil-tolerant, preferring calcareous, loamy soils, but cannot tolerate salty soils. It can be found almost everywhere in Europe, as well as in north-west Africa and western Asia. The single-stemmed hawthorn is frequently planted.

Further Informations

Haws are important for wildlife in winter, particularly thrushes and waxwings; these birds eat the haws and disperse the seeds in their droppings.

It is also called  may, mayblossom, maythorn, quickthorn, whitethorn, motherdie and haw
