When I bought my tiny little "Big Red" Mayhaw, the website said that they were "self-fertile". But since then I've been told that they are not. The little guy has survived and grown over the last two years, and I'm thinking it will flower next year.
We have quite a few native hawthorns around. Will they pollinate my Mayhaw?
Has anyone ever eaten a Big Red out of hand? are they realistically edible?
Will Hawthorn pollinate a Mayhaw?
I really don't know, maybe this link will help.
