let me know if you want the recipe.
think you'll be o.k. as far as poison goes, would think you might get a pain in your tum if you ate lots of raw ones, but because they ars bitter not poisoned.
This is an o-o-o-old tree much older than I am and I am in my fifties!

It was probably part of the hedge at one time and the hedge is a listed hedge ie has been there for donkeys years...some of the hawthorns are over a foot thick at the bottom!

I think its probably the equivalent of a crab apple...a crab pear maybe Lol
