Rivendell Tree Farm is pleased to offer mature Mayday trees for sale.
The Mayday tree is a medium sized tree that produces beautiful five petalled white flowers clustered along short stalks know botanically as racemes. The tree is native to Northern Europe and has for a very long time been a part of our history. The best part of having a Mayday tree in your yard is they are by far the first species to bud out in the spring. You will often see flowers and leaves at the very beginning of May if not the end of April. After a long winter they are a true delight for both gardeners and hungry honey bees. They produce very small cherries that are readily eaten by birds. They are a very hardy tree and require little maintenance. At maturity they can grow to 10m tall, but we know of a specimen or two down on river side that would put that measurement to the test.
The Mayday name is taken from the ancient Mayday festivals of Europe that celebrated the arrival of summer. In many regions and cultures they would gather wild flowers, weave garlands, dance around maypoles and pull corks around large bonfires. It could be speculated that the early flowers of a Mayday tree reminded those good peoples with fondness of the celebrations that were soon e.
In ancient Scotland the tree was know as the “hagberry” and was believed to be a witches tree.
In the middle ages it was custom to place the bark of a Mayday at your door which was believed to ward off the plague.
We have balled and burlapped Maydays in 70mm caliper. These are substantial trees that will add instant charm and character to your yard.
