Pyracantha coccinea
The tree has small white flowers. It produces small, bright red berries. The fruit is bitter and astringent, making it inedible when raw. The fruit can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade. It ranges from southern Europe to western Asia. (Wikipedia)
Greek name: Πυράκανθος, παλαιότερα Κράταιγος η Πυράκανθα
