Growing Information:
The Swamp Mayhaw, an icon of the American wetlands, brings the beauty of the swamp to your backyard. Let's embark on a journey into the heart of the swamp and discover the secrets of this extraordinary tree.

Zone Compatibility: Swamp Mayhaw trees are perfectly adapted to USDA hardiness zones 3-9, thriving in the moisture-rich environments of swampy landscapes.

Size: These trees typically grow to a height of 15-20 feet, making them a natural fit for wetlands and lowland gardens.

Chill Hours: Swamp Mayhaws don't require a significant number of chill hours, making them ideal for regions with milder winters.

Planting: Choose a location with consistently moist soil and partial to full sun for your Swamp Mayhaw tree. Plant them approximately 15-20 feet apart to allow ample space for growth.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, primarily to remove dead or crowded branches and maintain a healthy shape. The swamp mayhaw often has a natural, graceful form.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, emulating the swampy conditions of its native habitat. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells.

Fruit Description:
The fruits of the Swamp Mayhaw tree are a true testament to the beauty of the wetlands.

Flavor: The flavor of Swamp Mayhaw fruit is a delightful blend of sweet and tart, with subtle earthy undertones that evoke the essence of the swamp. They are prized for making exceptional jams, jellies, and syrups.

Texture: The fruit's texture is similar to that of a classic Mayhaw, with a thin skin encasing a juicy, tender flesh. It's a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of the wetlands.

Color: These small, round treasures measure between 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter and display a stunning shade of deep crimson, mirroring the colors of the swamp.

Harvest Time: Swamp Mayhaw trees typically yield their bounty in late April to early May, echoing the awakening of the swamp ecosystem.

Pollination: Swamp Mayhaw trees benefit from cross-pollination with another Mayhaw variety, so consider planting more than one tree for increased fruit production. Native pollinators, such as bees, play a vital role in ensuring a fruitful harvest in the swampy surroundings.
