Medlar Fruit Seedling
The medlar fruit (Mespilus germanica) is small, typically measuring about 2 to 3 cm in diameter, and resembles a large rose hip. It has a reddish-brown color with a slightly pockmarked surface and wide-spreading persistent sepals around a central pit, giving it a hollow appearance. The fruit is often described as looking unattractive or even spoiled when ripe, as it undergoes a process called bletting, which causes the skin to wrinkle and darken.Â
Ripening Process
Medlar fruit must be allowed to blet before it is edible. This process involves letting the fruit sit for a few weeks after harvest, during which time it softens and develops its flavor. The fruit is typically harvested after the first frost, as this helps to initiate the ripening process. Once bletted, the flesh inside becomes soft and mushy, similar to thick applesauce, and the flavor transforms into a sweet, spiced profile with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.ÂCulinary Uses
Once ripe, medlar fruit can be eaten raw, often enjoyed with sugar and cream, or used in various culinary applications such as jams, jellies, and desserts. The high pectin content of the fruit makes it particularly suitable for preserves. Despite its unusual ripening requirements, medlar fruit is gaining popularity among food enthusiasts and is considered a delicacy by some.Â
In summary, the medlar fruit is a unique and flavorful fruit that requires patience to enjoy, as its best flavor is achieved only after undergoing the bletting process. Its soft, sweet flesh and historical significance make it a fascinating fruit worth exploring.

Quince Fruit Tree Seedlings
Quinces are shrubs or small trees up to 4 to 6 metres (13 to 20 feet) tall and 3 to 4.5 metres (10 to 15 feet) wide. Young twigs are covered in a grey down. The leaves are oval, and are downy on the underside. The solitary flowers, produced in late spring after the leaves, are white or pink.
The ripe fruit is aromatic but remains hard; gritty stone cells are dispersed through the flesh.It is larger than many apples, weighing as much as 1 kilogram (2.2 lb), often pear-shaped but sometimes roughly spherical.
The seeds contain nitriles, common in the seeds of the rose family. In the stomach, enzymes or stomach acid or both cause some of the nitriles to be hydrolysed and produce toxic hydrogen cyanide, which is a volatile gas. The seeds are toxic only if eaten in large quantities.
