After too much deliberating trying to pick out a medlar, I placed an
order for a Royal from Raintree. They are out of stock and now I am
thinking that I am throwing away $25 + shipping on a medlar in zone 4
and am considering not ordering a substitute. Does anyone have any
info that can convince me otherwise? I saw that Oikos sells one that
seems to be hardier than the named varieties, but from the
description, it sounds like it is more of a bush than a small tree.
Maybe it could be trained to a central leader?
Add me to the long list of people looking for a cultivar
recommendation of a fruit that shouldn't survive in my region. Sorry
if this question has been addressed before.
