Mayhaw Tree (Crataegus Aestivalis)

The Mayhaw tree is a small native fruit tree growing from east Texas to Georgia and as far north as Kentucky. This showy tree is primarily found in bottomland and along the river's edge. It is known for its love of water but will grow well in your yard or home garden, as well.  Fruit is desired by wildlife and is often made into mayhaw jelly.
