(Mespilus germanica) Marron™ bears abundant harvests of medium-size, particularly tasty, chestnut-brown fruit.
A classic European garden favorite, Medlar grows to be a small tree with striking, long, tropical-looking foliage, large white flowers forming at branch tips, and abundant, brown 2 inch diameter unique fruit ripening in late fall/winter. Medlar fruit is eaten when soft-ripe, when it has the texture and taste of spiced applesauce. Medlar likes half day to full sun and well-drained soil, is self-fertile and is hardy to minus 25°F.
