Medlar Trees

About

Rediscover the ancient charm of the Medlar tree, a true heritage gem that brings both ornamental beauty and unique culinary rewards to the British garden. Famous for their sprawling habit, large white spring blossoms, and russet autumn foliage , these hardy trees (Mespilus germanica) produce distinctive fruit that is harvested late in the season and 'bletted' to unlock a rich, sweet flavour reminiscent of spiced apple and dates, ideal for making traditional jellies and fruit cheeses. Perfect for orchards and borders, Medlars are also surprisingly well-suited to patio growing when given enough room to thrive. For a contemporary container garden, our zinc square planters , available in matte black, matte grey, white, matte copper, or gloss black, offer a sleek home for your tree . Alternatively, if you prefer a classic or organic aesthetic, consider our up to 60cm wood square planters in natural wood, black, or grey, or perhaps make a bold statement with our 65cm to 90cm diameter rustic whisky barrels , featuring a choice of faded silver, rustic, or painted black rings.
