Mespilus germanica ‘Nottingham’ – Medlar

Home » Fruit Trees Categories » Medlar » Mespilus germanica ‘Nottingham’ – Medlar
December 6, 2012 by

Mespilus germanica ‘Nottingham’ is a variety of medlar.  The tree has an ornamental habit with twisting stems and dark green foliage.  It produces white flowers in the spring.  The fruit has an apple\pear flavour.  Mespilus germanica ‘Nottingham’ fruit will be ready in the autumn, but it will be hard and sour.  On smaller trees, it is wise to leave the fruit in situ and they will naturally mellow to a dark brown colour and the flesh will soften.  On larger trees, it is recommended to pick the fruits and store them until they ripen.

The fruits are ripe when they are squeezed and the flesh is revealed looking like apple sauce.  Mespilus germanica ‘Nottingham’ can also be used for making sauces, jellies and even marmalade.
