- culi 2y agoThe berries are edible in many if not most species. And the tree is often used as stock to graft pears and apples. Hawthorn species in many cultures have a medicinal history as some sort of "heart tonic". Modern research seems to support its usage for treatment of cardiovascular disease[0] [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249900/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249900/

I really like the fruit leather you can buy in Asian supermarkets. My math teacher from High School got me interested in both math and Chinese snacks, and it was really nice to see him get excited about sharing both with us. It'd probably work with American haw berries too - but the pitting would be a lot of extra work as they are smaller.
