Crataegus crus-galli is a species of hawthorn known by the common names cockspur hawthorn and cockspur thorn. It is native to eastern North America from Ontario to Texas to Florida, and it is widely used in horticulture.[3][4] It is thought to be the parent, along with Crataegus succulenta, of the tetraploid species Crataegus persimilis.
