Crataegus chrysocarpa is a species of hawthorn that is native to much of the continental United States and Canada . Common names fireberry hawthorn and goldenberry hawthorn, as well as the scientific name all refer to the colour of the unripe fruit, although the mature fruit is red[1] and in var. vernonensis is "deep claret-colored … nearly black when over-ripe".[2]
Three varieties C. chrysocarpa var. chrysocarpa, var. piperi, and var. vernonensis are recognized.[2]
