Crataegus
apiifolia (parsley hawthorn) is very twiggy with small leaves
and
makes a great mame.


The confused haw taxonomy strikes again. All my books have
parsley haw as C. marshalii, and it is a quite large shrub or
small tree. I have several here in my woods that stand 15 feet
tall. I think the world record has a trunk of 12 inches, or so.
Leaves at 1.5 inches are a bit large for mame, but reduce to 3/4
inch.
