Fruit Edible Trees
A slightly more compact medlar cultivar producing fruit very good for eating fresh. It originates from the wild medlars growing in northern Iran and is one of the best flavoured. It forms as a small, spreading tree with oblong, leathery, green leaves turning yellow-brown in autumn. Attractive, white, cup-shaped flowers appear in late spring, followed by russet-brown fruit. When fully ripe the flesh turns brown and quite sweet. Self-fertile. Cropping season: October to early November
