Nefle de October common medlar

Notes

'Nefle de October' common medlar (Crataegus germanica 'Nefle de October') is a tree for specimen planting and fruit harvests. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It stays compact at 6 to 8 feet tall and is self fertile. White to cream blossoms open in early to late spring, and the leaves color in fall. The brown fruits ripen in fall and need bletting, which means they soften and wrinkle after frost or storage.

Pairs well with Apple, Honeyberry, and Snowdrop.
