      Are those the same as crabapples ? I know when you bite a crab apple , they pucker you up.

          Couldn't agree with you more Justin!!! don't know if you were born yet, but before they cut the timber along Pine Island Bayou just south of Thicket, there was some serious woods there.... That's when the Big Thicket was still the Big Thicket... I grew up hunting there till there was no more woods... just little pine trees and briar patches...

            A guy in Daisetta had 20 or so native trees that were good producers every year. No more due to the Chinese tallow trees choking them out. I have a few at the house and just ordered 3 more. Problem is they are slow growers.

                Heck, I didn't even know anyone "cultivated" them. That's pretty cool! I wonder if I could set some out around my ponds?? Would sure rather have them than willer trees or those dang tallaberry thangs!

                    Made a small batch of Easter jelly and needed a test run before the contest.

                    Saving a few jars for you Tim. PM me your number as I lost it when I got a new phone. I'll be around Cleveland in a few weeks.

                      My mom (RIP) use to make mayhaw jelly. My dad and his cousins would head up 59 to places they knew of to pick them. My great grandmother Morris with her jelly in Diboll TX.

                              Store bought is usually watered down. They were all over southeast Texas. The timber companies have taken out most of the native groves. One month ago they took out my last big grove, I had access to.
