Medlar 'Westerveld' – Medlar - Culinary - bareroot tree

Originating from the Netherlands in the 1975, this fantastic semi-dwarf medlar variety is prized for its exceptionally heavy, reliable annual crops. It produces medium-to-large, russet-brown fruits that are ideal for making traditional medlar jelly, cheese, or eating raw once "bletted" (softened by frost or storage). Harvested in October, it has excellent keeping qualities while it cures over several weeks.

Please note: A stake and tie are required for all bare-root trees. We recommend a 50mm x 1500mm machine rounded wooden stake with a rubber tree tie for best results. These are available in the online shop under sundries
