|distribution=North America;Mexico;in Europe
|discussion=<p>Species 3 (3 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>Members of ser. Aestivales are found in wetlands from eastern Texas to North Carolina. Two species are largely allopatric (Crataegus aestivalis and C. opaca) and a third (C. ×rufula) is more or less intermediate between the first two and occurs where the ranges of the other two overlap. The mayhaws are distinct in precocious flowering, habitat, exceptionally early fruit ripening, and more or less umbellate inflorescences. Also, uniquely in sect. Coccineae, it appears that some thorns may be indeterminate.</p><!--
--><p>The fruit is widely consumed in foods such as pies, jellies, jams, and wine. The species are cultivated in home gardens and are also, on a small scale, commercially grown and processed.</p>
