Crataegus submollis, known as the northern downy hawthorn, [2] northern red haw, [2] Quebec hawthorn, [3] or hairy cockspurthorn, [4] is a species of hawthorn that grows to about 7 m in height [2] and typically carries large crops of red fruit. [5]
This species is closely related to C. mollis, but the two species have separate native ranges. [5] Amongst other differences between these two species, C. mollis has approximately 20 stamens, whereas C. submollis has approximately 10 stamens per flower. [5] Crataegus submollis is native to north-eastern North America, and has been introduced in Europe. [2]
