These \u2018old\u2019 medlar trees provide instant mature structure, character and yield in the garden; full-grown specimens in ample pots, ready for immediate planting.<\/p>\n
The Mespilus germanica \u2018Tree & Fruit\u2019<\/strong> is a traditional medlar variety known for its excellent fruiting<\/strong> and the large, aromatic medlars it produces. The oblong to inverted ovoid leaves are densely hairy, finely serrated and soft to the touch. In autumn, the leaves turn a beautiful colour to warm reddish brown and golden orange<\/strong>, giving the tree great value as an ornamental tree as well. This old medlar tree comes at a height of approximately 2 metres<\/strong>, raised in a 45 litre pot<\/strong> at Kwee A rootstock<\/strong>, which provides a calm, well-controlled growth<\/strong> and a reliable annual yield.<\/p>\n In May-June, \u2018Tree & Fruit\u2019 blooms profusely with upright, creamy-white flowers 3-4 cm wide<\/strong>, with a remarkably large number of stamens. This flowering forms the basis for later fruit set, which is exceptionally good in this variety. The medlars are brown in colour<\/strong>, about 4-5 cm in size<\/strong> and recognisable by the wide calyx opening. As with all medlar varieties, the fruits do not become edible until they are soft-ripe<\/strong> after bletting (post-ripening). Then the flesh develops a sweet, mild and spicy flavour - ideal for compote, jam, jelly and traditional medlar syrup.<\/p>\n This medlar tree is hardy<\/strong>, tolerates calcareous soil and is known for its heat resistance<\/strong> and deep root system. It grows best on a sunny to slightly shaded position<\/strong> with a nutritious, well-drained soil. Its mature age ensures that the tree produces fruit immediately and adds instant character to the garden.<\/p>\n For safe transport, these heavy trees are shipped on a pallet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Advantages:<\/strong> Why choose this old fruit tree?<\/strong> Bloom & Fruits:<\/strong> Pitch & care:<\/strong> Specifications at a glance<\/strong> Our Tree & Fruit on Kwee A is a robust, yielding and characterful medlar tree that adds instant value to the garden.
