Establish your own orchard or food forest with these Showy Medlar (Mespilus germanica) seeds. This rare, long-lived deciduous fruit tree is valued for its ornamental beauty, cold hardiness, and unique edible fruits that sweeten naturally after frost.

Medlar trees produce large white to soft pink spring blossoms that resemble single roses. In fall, the foliage turns vibrant yellow to red, adding stunning seasonal color. The distinctive apple-shaped fruits ripen in late autumn and become soft, sweet, and smooth after a natural ripening process called “bletting,” developing a pear-like flavor with applesauce texture.

Self-fertile and adaptable, Medlar trees are excellent for backyard orchards, homesteads, permaculture projects, wildlife habitats, and larger planting projects.

This 120-seed bulk pack is ideal for growers planting multiple trees, nurseries, restoration projects, or resale propagation.

You will receive:
✔️ 120 Showy Medlar seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions
✔️ Non-GMO, untreated seeds
