I planted mayhaws partly because I wanted something
to remind me of the hawthornes in England, but they bloom too early to crop most
years and the fruit gets covered in rust. So I've been chopping them down,
sorry that I let that space go to waste for so many years. Chris Inhulsen
told me way back when that they got the rust. I think that by growing in
swamps in their native Deep South they avoid junipers. And, no, the
scrawny fruit would not justify the room they take if it wasn't ruined by
rust. They don't bloom well for me, not enough to be pretty, and certainly
not enough to make good crops. Has anyone else got mayhaws that actually
bloom heavily? I don't think that T.O. and Sherwood would have been
so wild about them if they didn't do well down there.
