🌿🍂 Common Medlar Seeds Hardy -30 ° C
💰 Price: Package of 10 Seeds
Mespilus germanica, commonly known as medlar, is a hardy shrub or small tree 🌳 that produces unusual fruits 🍏. These fruits are cultivated for their distinctive ability to ripen through a process called "bletting," which transforms the hard and acidic fruits into a soft, sweet pulp, perfect for culinary creations 🍰🍯. Medlar is historically significant, with evidence of its cultivation dating back to Roman times 🏛️.
Origins & Related Species:
Native to southwest Asia and southeastern Europe 🌍, especially the Black Sea coast in Turkey 🇹🇷, Mespilus germanica has been cultivated for over 3000 years 🏺. In fact, it was one of the most commonly grown fruits in ancient Greece (~700 BC) and Rome (~200 BC). While Mespilus germanica was the only known species of medlar until 1990, a related species, Mespilus canescens, was discovered in North America 🌎. Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is also a distant relative 🌿.
Ecological Needs & Growth:
Medlar trees are deciduous and generally shrub-like 🌿, growing up to 8 m (26 ft) tall 🌳. These trees thrive in sunny, dry locations ☀️ and slightly acidic soil 🌱. The leaves are dark green, turning a vibrant red in autumn 🍁. In late spring 🌸, medlar trees produce white hermaphrodite flowers, pollinated by bees 🐝. The fruits themselves are reddish-brown pomes, about 2–3 cm in diameter 🍂, with persistent sepals giving them a hollow appearance. Medlars have a long lifespan, ranging from 30–50 years.
Culinary & Medicinal Uses Common Medlar Seeds Hardy -30 ° C
Historically, medlar was a highly sought-after fruit 🍏, but it has become rare in modern times 🌿. Medlar fruits are hard and tannic when harvested, but after exposure to frost or storage, they turn soft and sweet ✨. Culinary uses include medlar jelly, medlar cheese (similar to lemon curd), and delicious desserts, beverages, and tarts 🍰🍯☕. The medlar fruit is also popular for making wine 🍷. In traditional medicinal practices in Iran 🌿, medlars were used for treatments of diarrhea, bloating, throat abscesses, and fever 💊.
Cultivars Common Medlar Seeds Hardy -30 ° C
