Crataegus harbisonii is a rare species of hawthorn. Once common in the Nashville area, its population has been reduced significantly in modern times.[2] It is now currently known only from small populations in Davidson and Obion County, Tennessee.[3][4] This species has been taken into cultivation.[2] It forms a vigorous shrub to 8 m in height with hairy leaves, attractive flowers and round reddish fruit.[5][6]
It is closely related to Crataegus ashei and Crataegus triflora.[5]
