Merhaba arkadaşlar. Sonbaharda çektiğim bir kaç fotoğrafı paylaşmak istiyorum. İçinizde bu meyveyi bilmeyenlerde vardır herhalde. Fotoğraflar Karabük'ten. Bizim buralarda kırsalda kendiliğinden yetişen bir meyve.
Baharda bembeyaz çiçekler açar ve etrafa hoş bir koku verir. Meyveler sonbaharda olgunlaşır ve ekşimsi bir tadı vardır. Olgunlaşınca yemesi güzel olur ama herkes sevmeyebilir. İnternette yazanlara göre epey bir faydası varmış. buradan ;ya da buradan

"Habit: spiny and densely branched, mature trees can grow to a height of around 6-7m, and live for up to 100 years. The dark brown bark is smooth, and twigs form straight side shoots, which develop into thorns.
Leaves: slightly wrinkled, oval, toothed, pointed at the tip and tapered at the base.
Flowers: blackthorn is a hermaphrodite, meaning both male and female reproductive parts are found in one flower. White flowers appear on short stalks before the leaves in March and April, either singularly or in pairs.
Fruits: once pollinated by insects, the flowers develop into blue-black fruits measuring 1cm across.
Look out for: it is a spiny shrubby tree with black-purple twigs and small, narrow leaves.
Could be confused with: hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), without leaves. The flowers of blackthorn appear before the leaves and the spines have buds along their length, on the hawthorn flowers emerge from the same point as the buds.
Identified in winter by: the twigs are black and spiny with leaf buds along the spines."
