'Royal' Medlar Tree Reviews

A compact medlar whose superior flavour and ability to be eaten raw elevates it over other varieties, ‘Royal’ is a truly majestic tree! With a relatively diminutive habit, this medlar is suitable for smaller gardens and can even be grown in a large container. Alongside the fabulous fruits, ‘Royal’ also sports lovely white flowers as well as attractive foliage shades of gold and orange come autumn. A self-fertile tree, you only need one of these medlars in order to produce fruit, which you can ‘blet’ in order to make scrumptious jams and jellies. Medlars are part of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Plants for Pollinators group, indicating its benefits to pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
