In connection with the discussion on medlars a while back I've been checking my own and those of a couple other sources and have noted that around here in Oregon the fruits seem to be free of insect pests. No codling moth, no apple maggot or any other insect of pome fruits seems to bother them. That's probably related to the hard, astringent "non bletted" flesh. I'd like to hear from others growing medlars to know if that holds true elsewhere.
