About Medlars
This plant has been popular in Europe since the Middle Ages, but is virtually unheard of in North America. It grows into a small tree with long, dark green, tropical-looking foliage, accented by large white flowers and striking brown fruit. The fruit ripens in mid-to-late October, becoming soft and turning very dark brown. It is ready to eat and has the taste and texture of spiced applesauce.
