Yes.

We planted ours last year and it is doing well, with about a dozen fruit on
it. Being the first crop I cannot tell you what they are like from
experience, maybe if you ask again in March (maybe April not sure) I can
say.

From reading, they are like a pungent, spicy apple. To some an acquired
taste, to others a delicacy. They must be very ripe (preferably on the
tree) before being consumed. This process is called bleting. I have always
wanted to blet my medlars!
