Medlar Nottingham Fruit Tree - 5-6Ft - 7.5 Litre Pot

Bletting is the ripening process medlar fruits undergo after harvest. They remain hard and astringent until stored in a cool place, eventually becoming soft and sweet.

The Medlar Nottingham typically reaches a mature height of 10-15ft, depending on your specific soil conditions and climate.

The Medlar Nottingham is generally self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit without a second tree nearby, though yields may be higher if other pollinators are present.

Autumn or early spring are the best times to plant, as the cooler temperatures help the tree establish its root system without excessive heat stress.

While it is a compact tree, it prefers being planted in the ground. If using a container, it must be very large to accommodate root growth and will require more frequent watering and fertilizing.

This is often a sign of water stress. Ensure the tree is receiving adequate, consistent moisture, especially during dry summers.

Ensure the tree is receiving enough direct sunlight and that the soil is not overly compacted. Medlars generally need a few years to establish before producing heavy crops.

Check soil drainage. Medlars do not like waterlogged roots. If the site is poorly drained, consider amending the soil with organic matter.
