Showy Medlar – Mespilus germanica 240 Seeds | Edible Heirloom Fruit Tree Bulk Orchard Pack | Hardy Fruit Tree | Permaculture Friendly

Grow a rare heirloom fruit tree with these Showy Medlar (Mespilus germanica) seeds. This long-lived deciduous tree is prized for its ornamental spring blooms, vibrant fall foliage, and unique edible fruits that naturally sweeten after frost.

In late spring, Medlar trees produce large white to blush-pink flowers resembling single roses. By autumn, the foliage turns brilliant shades of yellow and red. The distinctive apple-shaped fruits ripen in late fall and soften through a natural process called “bletting,” developing a sweet, smooth pulp with a pear-like flavor and applesauce texture.

Self-fertile and highly adaptable, Medlar trees are ideal for backyard orchards, food forests, homesteads, wildlife habitats, and restoration projects.

This 240-seed bulk pack is perfect for large-scale planting, nursery propagation, orchard establishment, or resale growers.

You will receive:
✔️ 240 Showy Medlar seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions
✔️ Non-GMO, untreated seeds
