The SEH mayhaw is cloned from a collection of seedlings, that contain some thornless specimens as the tree ages. The color of the mayhaw berries varies from orange to red and the berries ripen in mid-May.
• It's time that Southern farmers lucked into a dependable crop with a payoff like mayhaws could potentially produce a family heirloom fortune. Mayhaw trees will sometimes bear when one year old and commercial growers claim that a 10 year old tree will bear 100 gallons of berries a year, increasing more each year afterwards. SEH berries are large, bright red and begin ripening during May and June. At present the S.E.H. mayhaws do not have specific names, but hopefully outstanding selections of thornless mayhaw trees or thorny types will be perfected and cloned into pure cultivars. Pick-your-own operators usually prefer mayhaw cultivars that ripen over a long period of time, so that the roadside-picking season can be extended, which generally lasts 30 days. A relative of Mr. Carter owns a an orchard of 190 mayhaw trees near Anderson City, Ga., that bears consistent crops every year of large red berries. The mayhaw color can vary from yellow to orange or red, and the berries are aromatic and can be eaten directly from the trees from cultivars that have thin skin.
