Black Hawthorn, also called Douglas’ Hawthorn, is most often found in areas that are moist and shady. It is a large shrub to small tree with grey trunk and limbs covered with straight,
stout thorns almost an inch long. The Spring flowers are white and in clusters, as are the blackish round berries with a 1/4” diameter that hang for eating by native animals and birds. A member of the Rosaceae Family, Hawthorns grow by Kiosk 11. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America.
