Mespilus germanica 'Marron'™ This new cultivar is highly productive and produces large fruit with flavorful pulp. Although little known in the U.S., medlars have been grown in Euro pe for thousands of years. The unusual round fruits are collected in the fall, after the first frosts. When picked, the fruits are much too hard to eat immediately. If allowed to ripen for a few weeks in a cool lighted place they undergo a process called ‘bletting’ and become soft, spicy and very rich. Enjoy the cinnamon-apple sauce flavor scooped out with a spoon.
