Medlar Update.
Important news for many of you.
The sole publicly accessible medlar tree in (the Glory that is) Ruislip has had a good year.
Medlars do not produce fruit in bunches, but we have a fair crop over all the branch network.
This tree grows in a hollow, so is yet, this year, to experience a harsh frost that would trigger the bletting process rendering the medlars yieldingly soft and readily edible.
I collected some windfalls this afternoon, and will bring them along.
Medlar afficionadoes are welcome to a couple each.
A couple of days in the freezer should bring forth the expected texture,
(slightly coarser than stewed apple), and the notable flavours.
