I just looked it up. It's a tree...a member of the Hawthorne family. Grows nice white blossums...grows in the South. OK ,a may apple is a herbaceous perennial. I'll have to try it sometime.

i have heard them called a may apple by some people but they probably just didn't know the name for them.
they grow wild down here. we have a mayhaw festival in a town 15 miles from me. mayhaws make very good jelley. the creek bottom behind my house has a lot of mayhaw trees in it. thinking about getting some this year.
i even live on mayhaw rd lol

Me too OST...I make all sorts of jelly but never heard of using a May apple.
Ya are talkin about the small plants that grow in large groups or patches...about 1-2 feet tall and has red apple lookin fruits in the middle of them? They also sell the roots of them. If so, they are thick here.

Aint nothin better than mayhaw jelly on hot yeast rolls or cathead bisquits. Mayhaw jelly is made the same way as muscadine(wild grape) jelly. I like to cut back on the water a little when simmering the juice out. It makes a stronger jelly. The easiest way I've found to collect mayhaws is to take a few old bed sheets and lay them out under a tree that has ripe fruit and shake the tree lightly so the ripe fruit falls and the green fruit stays on the tree. Fold the sheet together and pour the mayhaws into a bucket.
