About: Mayhaw

An Entity of Type: Plant, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Mayhaw is the name given to the fruit of the species of Crataegus series Aestivales that are common in wetlands throughout the southern United States. The principal species are C. aestivalis, the eastern mayhaw, and C. opaca, the western mayhaw. Mayhaws grow in moist soil in river and creek bottoms under hardwood trees. The fruit is also found in bayous surrounding lakes, such as Caddo Lake on the Texas/Louisiana border. The fruit ripens in late April through May, thus the name may-haw. Mayhaws are often collected out of the water from boats, and the fruit is used to make jelly.

dbo:abstract
  • Mayhaw es la denominación del fruto de las especies de Crataegus serie Aestivales,​ árboles de pequeño porte, que se desarrollan en los humedales a lo largo del sur de Estados Unidos. Las especies principales son C. aestivalis, el mayhaw oriental, y C. opaca, el mayhaw occidental.​ Es un fruto pequeño que mide de 1 a 2 cm de diámetro, se asemeja a la manzana por su forma, y cuando maduro es de color rojo intenso.​ Los árboles de los cuales se obtienen los mayhaws crecen en suelos húmedos en los fondos de ríos o arroyos bajo árboles de madera dura. Los frutos maduran entre fines de abril y mayo, de allí su nombre may-haw ("may" en inglés significa mayo). El fruto también se encuentra en bayous bordeando lagos, como por ejemplo el en la frontera entre Texas y Louisiana. A menudos los mayhaws son recolectados del agua utilizando botes, y los frutos son utilizados para preparar jalea. El fruto es cultivado en zonas fuera de los humedales, siendo esta la principal fuente de materia para elaborar jalea. (es)

Mayhaws are often collected out of the water from boats, and the fruit is used to make jelly. Families would go on outings to collect mayhaws and create stockpiles of the jelly to last throughout the year, but the tradition has declined with the increasing urbanization of the South and the destruction of the mayhaw's native habitat. The fruit has also been cultivated to grow outside of wetlands, and this is increasingly the source of the jelly. (en)
