Crataegus dilatata
Crataegus dilatata is a species of hawthorn known by the common names broadleaf hawthorn and apple-leaf hawthorn.[1] Crataegus dilatata is native from New York to New England, and the southernmost parts of Ontario and Quebec. They grow to a height of 20 feet (6.1 m). The leaves are 2 to 2.5 inches (51 to 64 mm) long, broadly ovate, short pointed at the tip, notched or rounded at the base, coarsely doubly saw-toothed and usually with several shallow lobes. The Latin name means "dilated" or "spread out" which describes the broad leaves.[2]
