Name: Crataegus aestivalis - Crataegus opaca - Crataegus rufula Swamp Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes communities dominated by one or more of the mayhaws <i>Crataegus aestivalis, Crataegus opaca</i>, and/or <i>Crataegus rufula</i>, occurring in seasonally flooded depressions within floodplains or in upland landscapes in the Southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States. The mayhaws often dominate these seasonally flooded depressions, and are small trees up to 12 m tall and to at least 30 cm dbh. Canopy coverage in mayhaw ponds may vary from a closed canopy to an open, scattered, or zonal canopy of mayhaw. In the Florida Panhandle and adjacent portions of Alabama and Georgia, the various nominal species can occur intermixed. Elsewhere, one or two of the species may be dominant or codominant. The distributions of mayhaw communities are not very well understood.
