A great piece on ‘medlars’ which I had no idea were even called that in English. But I know the tree well because I have one in my small city garden in France. I decided to get one simply because of its delicate white flowers in spring and also because it stays relatively small. I have always just ignored the strange-looking fruit, letting it drop to the ground in winter. But after reading your article I may have to try one.....one day 😊
Never heard of medlars before. Enjoyed bawdy reference and men not mature until they are rotten. I better make sure they are ripe rotten before eating!💛
