Mespilus germanica 'Pucia Super Mol'

This large-fruited medlar is from the Piedmont area of Italy where it is preferred above all others. Brought to the U.S. by Hill Craddock.

Although little known in the U.S., medlars have been grown in Europe for thousands of years. The unusual 1 inch diameter round fruits are collected in the fall, after the first frosts. When picked, the fruits are much too hard to eat immediately. If allowed to ripen for a few weeks in a cool lighted place they undergo a process called ‘bletting’ and become soft, spicy and very rich. Enjoy the cinnamon-apple sauce flavor scooped out with a spoon.

dry roots

Arrived without any packing to protect the roots other than plastic bag. Roots were mostly dry. Every bare root tree I ever bought had something, moss, newspaper, hydrogel, to keep the roots moist. Root mass was good and the tree good sized. When I contacted Raintree they said it was not covered by a warranty since it was BOGO.
Too early to tell if the tree will survive.

early days

Arrived in good condition after several days crossing to the east coast. Tree looks good and sturdy ready to grow well. Will have to wait and see how it does long term.

Mystery Medlar

I've never seen a medlar, so planting one is a complete shot in the dark. It arrived in excellent condition and has been planted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I like it!
