What's the botanical name for Mayhaw?  Is it a viburnum?

Its a crataegus pat...

Good luck finding this one bryce. Most folks in the south like to keep em around for the berries to make jelly. And they dont grow in huge numbers either. But..ya never know maybe someone down south knows of some n can help ya out...im too far north.

As far as I know it's a type of hawthorn, my relatives call it thorn Apple.

I have access to hawthorne on my place. Got one knotty stave I've had roughed out for 4 or 5 years in the shop I could send pictures of if you like. Definitely not Texas/Lousiana Mayhaw, though Wikipedia says both are Crataegus.If you come up dry on the mayhaw let me know. Most of our hawthorns are knotty & fork at something short of 4 feet above grade.

I have several around my place, the parsley hawthorn variety, but it is gnarly, forked and checks just by thinking about cutting it.  It is some very dense wood though.
