Tree ID – Hawthorn,  Crataegus monogyne

(Question)

Was wondering what type of tree this is. There are a no. planted on Heath Street West on the south side. Not sure if they are street or private trees. Robust deciduous with red/orange berries that attract robins & starlings. Did look online but didn’t find match as clearly not American Mountain Ash. Many thanks

Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners. It is difficult to see the leaf shape from your photo, however I believe that the tree in question could be Hawthorn,  Crataegus monogyne. This tree produces lovely white flowers from May-June and the seeds ripen into red berries  from September-November.
