Default Medlar an unusual fruit

'David Hare-Scott[_2_ Wrote:

As far as I can tell there are leaves growing from the fruit itself, not
something you see too often.

I thought one generally made medlar jelly with bletted medlars, to get
that particular medlar flavour, hence picking them in mid Autumn.


Which of course is why David is picking them NOW. It is midwinter where he
and I live in the Southern Hemisphere.
