Sultan Medlar

The tree that arrived was surprisingly large and really nicely packed. The graft looked well-established. But here in early June, it's really struggling, though I've been really careful to keep the soil plenty moist around it. It's leafing out like a Dr. Seuss tree - with little tufts of leaves at the ends of a few branches. I'm not encouraged. My experience with any bareroot tree I've received has not been good, even the ones I've planted immediately into pots in good soilless medium. I'd love it if you'd offer your complete line in containers. Even small trees in deep treepots would likely do better in the long run than bareroot trees. At least for long-distance shipping.

I was excited for this order but came in damaged.

Nice tree diameter and condition upon delivery. I would be interested to know the name of the rootstock, as I have two other medlars that I would like to compare and contrast with the Sultan medlar.

Arrived a dormant bare root. It has leafed out and added some new height to it! I first saw these in the UK last year and immediately went online to find a source in the USA that had some. Thank you for having a good selection of cultivars! I am really excited about these!

This is my first time growing medlars and the shape of the tree is so beautiful. I would grow medlars to simply bring something beautiful to the orchard. I can't wait to try a few more varieties of medlars.

I bought both the sultan and earlie the monstreuse etc.the sultana shows possible signs of life the monster use does not. No leaves or buds. I do not intend this to be a review but an enquiry. Please advise me. Anthony Keys.

This tree was beautifully packaged along with a bamboo support stake and well protected roots.
We just got her in the ground & the whole family is excited!

Appears to be noce thick trunk with multiple stems. Is dormant so will be nice to see it leaf out. Hadnt heard of these before our trip to the UK so glad to see a USA company carry them!

Everything went well.

Here in the Piedmont region of southern Virginia we have lots of hot weather right now. I received this tree bareroot in April. I planted it in a pot with top shelf planting mix. I will transfer it to the ground this fall. I have found that this tree does not like full all day sun here. It tolerated it but did much better with afternoon shade. In fact, if you have issues with abnormal leaf growth or slow growth it needs some shade. Once I moved mine into a spot where he gets late day shade it began to leaf out more and fill in despite the fact it’s so hot. I’m glad I had to wait to plant this tree since I will make sure that it has a spot similar to where it sits now. It’s been my experience that most plants enjoy a break from the beating sun here even if they are drought tolerant and hardy.

The medlar came healthy and very well branched and pruned. There are leave buds already present so hopefully it will have some great growth and establishment this year.
