Medlar : Nottingham

Medlar 'Nottingham'

Mespilus germanica, Dutch Medlar, Minshull Crab

Considered the best flavoured Medlar, producing a heavy crop of medium sized fruits with a interesting caramel flavour. Medlar trees have a flat topped weeping habit, with large white spring flowers and attractive leathery leaves that turn to shades of golden orange in autumn. The russet coloured, apple shaped fruits are excellent eaten with wine, port and cheese, although are more commonly used to make into preserves or the Victorian delicacy Medlar cheese.


Grafted onto a ‘Quince A’ rootstock, to create a productive tree with moderate vigour. ‘Nottingham’ is self-fertile and therefore does not require a pollination companion. Medlars will begin to fruit 3 or 4 years after planting. Root wrap plant supplied. Height and spread: 4m (13’). Rootstock: ‘Quince A’.


Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.
