You have a banana! Up here my medlar is exotic :-) We've been in Wales then I was struck down with norovirus, today I went to look at my strip of garden in the street, it's a daily habit to catch the weeds before they get big. Couldn't see any weeds :-) Couldn't see much :-( As you say, golden, brown, russet and yellow leaves are thick on the ground. Mary |

No room for a medlar in our tiny garden which is why we have the allotment. M. lasiocarpa is probably the hardiest of the Bananas, doesn't grow very tall, ours got to about 7ft this year, but does spread if it likes the spot. It's against a W. facing wall so only gets sun from mid morning in summer (if there is any!) but is protected from most of the wind. We let the frost cut it back a bit and then cover with the old leaves and some other garden stuff making a wigwam and wait 'till spring when it will show growth through the protection. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

I like my sunshine and at least when it rains here, it clears up again very quickly. |
