Description

The tree that bears fruit when the garden is already asleep. The Common medlar ripens in late October — the last fresh fruit of the season. A vigorous, self-fertile tree that shrugs off frost and drought: an old-time variety that asks for almost nothing yet yields every single year.

Botanical name Mespilus germanica — Common medlar
Fruit Small to medium; dark-brown firm skin, pale-green flesh with large seeds
Taste Very tasty at full ripeness (once softened)
Pollination Self-fertile — one tree is enough
Harvest End of October
Resistance To frost and drought
Rootstock Grafted on hawthorn or medlar seedling — both tolerate drought well
Growth Vigorous tree
Delivery 2–5 business days (Bulgaria); 4–7 days (Romania)

💡 Nursery tip: medlars are eaten once the fruit softens (the so-called “bletting” — in fact a natural after-ripening that follows the first frosts). Leave the fruit for 2–3 weeks and you'll see why our grandparents loved it. For larger fruit, see the Royal variety.

🍂 What to expect: the first fruit usually comes in the 3rd–4th year after planting.
✅ “Health & Bloom™” Guarantee — the sapling arrives carefully packed and ready to plant.
