Medlar 'Royal'

• Compact, self-fertile variety – ideal for smaller gardens
• Produces richly flavoured fruits, delicious fresh or bletted
• Large white spring flowers and glossy foliage
• Attractive spreading, semi-weeping habit

Medlar ‘Royal’ is a compact and highly ornamental fruit tree, perfect for gardens where space is limited. Its large, glossy leaves and showy white blossoms make it as decorative as it is productive. The smaller fruits ripen in late October and can be enjoyed straight from the tree or left to ‘blet’, a process that softens the fruit to develop its rich, truffle-like flavour.

Whether eaten fresh, made into jams, or turned into chutneys, ‘Royal’ offers a versatile and distinctive taste. With its graceful, spreading shape, it also makes a beautiful lawn feature, bringing structure and seasonal interest to the garden.
