Every January I get strong desires to start gardening and buy
mailorder plants. Way way to early but they'll come in May and I
like ordering them. I have apple trees but I really don't like to
eat apples. I think I will order medlar trees. Supposedly hardy to
-35 F which might not be cold hardy enough here, but maybe. Medlars
have a bad reputation for being yucky to eat, but maybe not. They
are more of a bush and I can protect them during the winter. Any
advice about their taste, hardiness and what variety to order.
