Crataegus Species in Isparta Urban Forest
Abstract
In this study, the growth and fruit characteristics of two species of maquis, one of the Mediterranean maquis, were determined. The average individual height of Crataegus orientalis Pall. ex M. Bieb. subsp. orientalis individuals were 2.99 m, the average crown diameter is 2.13 m, and the average number of branches is 2, the average individual height of the Crataegus monogyna Jacq. var. monogyna individuals was 3.17 m, the average crown diameter was 2.35 m, and the average number of branches was 2.8. While the number of fruits in C. orientalis species was 295.82 and fruit weight was 1.72-3.37 g, the number of fruits in C. monogyna species was 4274.5 and fruit weight was 0.33-0.90 g. As a result of the analysis of variance applied to compare the growth characteristics of the study according to the aspects, it was determined that there was no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference between the aspect groups in terms of height, crown diameter, and the number of branches in C. orientalis species. In C. monogyna species, while there was no statistically significant difference between the aspect groups in terms of height and crown diameter, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of branches. As a result of the analysis of variance applied to compare the aspects in terms of fruit characteristics, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between the aspect groups in terms of fruit number and fruit weight in C. orientalis species. At the same time, there was no significant difference in C. monogyna species. According to the correlation analysis performed, it was determined that the relationship between the number of branches and the height character was insignificant for both species, and all other characters were statistically positively correlated with each other at the 0.01 significance level. Hawthorn species have an ethnobotanical feature used for various purposes such as food, medicinal, ornamental, etc. Local people also benefit from these features in the region where the study area is located. They use their fruits to make jam, marmalade, and vinegar, consume their leaves and flowers as tea, and use them for decorating their homes. It is thought that by studying the growth and fruit characteristics of hawthorn species, the necessary data will be provided for easy cultivation of this species, and a base for further studies will be formed by learning about their local uses.
