Crataegus harbisonii is a species of hawthorn that was originally described from Nashville, Tennessee, and is closely related to C. ashei.[2] Currently, only one individual is known to survive in the wild,[3] but the species has been taken into cultivation.[4] It forms a vigorous shrub to 8 m in height with hairy leaves, attractive flowers and round reddish fruit.[2][3]
