Leaf shapes

Hawthorn

 
 
A hawthorn leaf is quite
small (up to 5cm long). There
are thorns on the branches.
 
In autumn hawthorn leaves
change colour and fall off
the tree (deciduous tree).
     
 
Here is a hawthorn tree growing at the bottom of Woodgate Valley.
 
In autumn there are red berries on the trees. There
are seeds inside each berry
which can grow into a new tree.
     
   
Wood from hawthorn trees
can be made into different things - statues and kindling.
