Common Medlar Hedging Plants - Mespilus germanica

Common Medlar (Mespilus germanica) is offered here as hedging plants in the sizes and root types shown below.

This is a deciduous plant, losing its leaves seasonally and producing fresh foliage in the next growing season. The flowers are white; flowering depends on growing conditions and the plant's stage of development.

Choosing this plant for your space

Start by measuring the length of the proposed hedge and the space available on either side. Consider how the hedge will sit alongside boundaries and other plants, then choose a starting size for the layout.

Position and soil

Choose a position in full sun or partial shade. Well-drained soil is suitable, including soil that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain away.

Choosing your size

The option you select determines the height supplied. Use the listed measurements to plan the quantity and spacing for your scheme before ordering.

Choose a sunny position with moderately fertile soil. Leave the fruit on the tree until after frost before collecting it.

On arrival, carefully remove outer packaging and check the plants against your order. Handle plants by their pot or root ball where possible, rather than pulling on stems or branches.

Check root moisture and water if needed. Until planting, keep the plants upright in a sheltered position and prevent roots from drying out. If supplied bare-root, keep the roots covered and moist and plant promptly when conditions allow.

Delivery arrangements and any charges are those confirmed for your order.
