These ancient, low maintenance, small fruit trees enhance any garden. They have pretty, white blossom which appears in May after other tree blossoms have faded.
Their late blossom is what makes them an invaluable source of pollen for bees when other sources have dried up and their fruit is what we use to make our Aromatic Medlar Jelly.
Win your very own medlar tree and enter our competition:
If you have any unwanted medlars you’d like to put towards this good cause, just drop them into us at our HQ: Whitewalls, Easton Grey, SN16 0RD (01666 827 044, open 9am-5pm Monday – Friday) from 1st October – 29th November.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated their unwanted medlars last year. Over 570kg of medlars were kindly dropped off at Tracklements HQ by local residents, which were juiced and made into our delicious Aromatic Medlar Jelly!
All of this would not have been possible without your help!
So far we’ve helped British bees by sending 160 medlar trees around the UK.
For each jar purchased, 25p goes directly to buying bee-friendly medlar trees and another 25p is donated to the British Beekeepers Association.
