Medlar 'Bredase Reus'
Mespilus g. 'Bredase Reus (Breda Giant)'

The frost causes the flesh to become soft. The flesh then becomes brown, soft and sweet. They may seem to get rotten, but they certainly are not! The medlar can now be eaten out of hand by breaking it open and sucking out the flesh. A medlar is juicy with a sweet and sour taste. It can be made into delicious jam or jelly.
