Crataegus azarolus Mediterranean Medlar
This shrub looks quite like our common British Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) but the leaves are hairy and often split to the base. The fruits are usually yellow sometimes orange as opposed to the dull red of C. monogyna. It has been cultivated in Mediterranean countries for its fruits and is probably only truly native in Crete.
