A lot of fruits on the medlar tree earlier this year. I know you don't
shake the tree till November, but they've all gone. Does something eat
medlars? Or might they have dropped and been taken? Anyone know about
medlars?

cheers

Mine all disappeared lst year too. This year they're OK. Not many though -
it's still young.

Never heard about shaking the tree, I pick mine by hand - but it's not a
big tree :-)

It seems to be one of those things shrouded in rustic mystery, bletting, an
acquired taste with port and all that. But I found them very yummy, like
cooked apple when, like you, I picked them last year. Which was why I was
peeved this year not to have them. I think I'm going to spread net curtain
over my entire garden, or build an Eden type dome. Or buy a Hawk. Or a
shotgun
