Medlar - Nottingham

$54.00 ($49.00-$54.00 choose a size)

Smaller fruit than Dutch, but considered the best flavoured medlar for fresh eating. A pretty ornamental tree. Blooms in late spring with large flowers resembling single white roses. Fruit is eaten when soft, generally after a frost and has a mild flavour similar to a pear. Self - fertile.

Medlar

I have a 6yo "Dutch" medlar. Most fruit (>90%) develop a black discoloration due to a fungal or bacterial infection prior to ripening/bletting. This destroys the fruit completely or its flavour when ripe. I have been unable to control this. Any tips?
