Crataegus mexicana aka Mexican Hawthorn

Crataegus mexicana, also known as tejocote, manita, tejocotera, or Mexican hawthorn, is a species of hawthorn native to the mountains of Mexico and parts of Guatemala, and has been introduced in the Andes. This semi-evergreen shrub or small tree has a spreading habit, often with thorny stems and glossy dark green leaves that are toothed near the tips, sometimes taking on a bronze hue in winter. In late spring, clusters of white flowers adorn the plant, followed by large golden yellow berries that persist into winter. Tejocote is considered one of the most useful hawthorns, and its fruit is highly valued. As a houseplant, tejocote is quite rare and requires regular watering to thrive. It thrives in long-lasting, direct light, preferably within 1 foot of a window. Well-draining soil is best for this plant, and it does not typically require additional fertilizers if it is repotted every time it doubles in size.
