Listing description
Crataegus monogyna, known as common hawthorn or single-seeded
hawthorn, is a species of hawthorn native
to Europe,
northwest Africa and
western Asia. It has been
introduced in many other parts of the world. It can be an invasive weed.
Detailed description
Other common names include may, mayblossom, maythorn, quickthorn, whitethorn, motherdie,
and haw. This species is one of several that have been referred to
as Crataegus oxyacantha,
a name that has been rejected by the botanical community as too ambiguous.
Uses
Medicinal use
Crataegus monogyna is
one of the most common species used as the "hawthorn" of
traditional herbalism. The plant
parts used are usually sprigs with both leaves and flowers, or alternatively
the fruit ("berries").[3] Hawthorne has
been investigated by evidence-based medicine for treating cardiac insufficiency.[3]
Crataegus monogyna is
a source of antioxidant phytochemicals, especially extracts of
hawthorn leaves with flowers.[4]
In gardening and agriculture
Common hawthorn is extensively planted as a hedge plant, especially for agricultural use. Its
spines and close branching habit render it effectively stock- and human-proof,
with some basic maintenance. The traditional practice of hedge laying is most
commonly practised with this species. It is a good fire wood which burns
with a good heat and little smoke.[5]
Numerous hybrids exist, some of
which are used as garden shrubs. The
most widely used hybrid is C. × media (C.
monogyna × C. laevigata), of which several cultivars are known,
including the very popular 'Paul's Scarlet' with dark pink double flowers.
Other garden shrubs that have sometimes been suggested as possible hybrids
involving the common hawthorn,[citation needed] include the various-leaved hawthorn of the Caucasus, which is only very
occasionally found in parks and gardens.
Edible "berries", petals, and leaves
The fruit of hawthorn, called haws, are edible raw
but are commonly made into jellies, jams, and syrups, used to make wine,
or to add flavour to brandy. Botanically they are pomes, but they look similar to berries. A haw is small and oblong, similar in size and shape to a small olive or
grape, and red when ripe. Haws develop in
groups of 2-3 along smaller branches. They are pulpy and delicate in taste. In
this species (C. monogyna) they have only one seed, but in other species
of hawthorn there may be up to 5 seeds.
Petals are also edible,[6] as are the leaves, which if
picked in spring when still young are tender enough to be used in salads.[7] Hawthorn
petals are used in the medieval English recipe for spinee, an almond-milk
based pottage[8][9] recorded in 'The Forme of Cury' by the Chief
Master-Cook of King Richard II, c1390.
Packaging details
We usually bag ores in
50kg,100kg,150kg and 200kgs depending on specifications. Now for a 50kg bagged
ore it will contain 480 bags for a 20ft container,610 bags for a 40ft
container, 642 and 674 bags for a 48ft
and 53ft containers respectively. For a 100kg bagged ore we have 240 bags for a 20ft container, 305 bags
for a 40ft container,329 bags for
48ft and 344 bags for a 53ft
container. However, the best method to transport ores such as iron is through
ship loads such as in 25000 ,50000, tones and so on, because through this way
the transporting is less cumbersome and one can transport more materials at a
given time.
