Medlar trees are available from this nursery, but I think this is a gardening experiment that I'll skip.

I would give it a try. Consuming, not growing.

It's supposedly an attractive tree. Maybe it's worth growing just for it appearance?

The picture in the article looks like a very large tree, but the nursery description says 10’ tall.

If I were to grow one, I’d want the one with this name: Monstrueuse de Evreinoff because, why not?

It’s a really nice looking tree in the picture.

I’d plant one just for the story! ThumbsUp
