Breda Giant Medlar Tree – Unique, Sweet Fruit for Your Orchard 🍑🌳

The Breda Giant Medlar Tree is a rare and extraordinary fruit tree that produces large, sweet, and tangy fruits known for their unique flavor. This tree thrives in a variety of climates, particularly in areas with temperate conditions, and is a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to grow exotic fruit that’s rich in history and taste. Medlar fruits are typically small to medium-sized, with a distinct brownish skin that softens as the fruit ripens.

Whether you enjoy them fresh, use them in gourmet dishes, or preserve them for later, the Breda Giant Medlar Tree is a truly unique addition to your garden or orchard.

USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

• Thrives in USDA Zones 4-9
• Requires 400-500 chill hours, ideal for regions with mild winters and cool temperatures ❄️

Pollination & Fruit Production

• Pollination: The Breda Giant Medlar Tree is self-pollinating, so you don’t need another tree for fruit production. However, planting additional trees nearby can increase fruit yield and improve overall fruit size.
• Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, planting other medlar varieties like the Marron Medlar or Royal Medlar can help improve pollination and result in a larger, more abundant harvest.
• Fruit Description: The fruit is large and round, with a brownish skin that softens and turns to a sweet, honeyed flavor once fully ripe. The flesh inside is soft, fragrant, and full of nutrients.
• Taste: The medlar’s flavor is a blend of sweet, tangy, and floral notes, offering a unique taste that’s perfect for fresh eating, preserves, or savory dishes.
• Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late spring to early summer, typically from May to June, making it a late-season harvest.

How to Plant & Grow Breda Giant Medlar Trees

• Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day is required for optimal growth and fruiting.
• Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.5) with good organic matter to support healthy growth.
• Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-12 feet apart to ensure proper growth and air circulation between the plants.
• Mature Size 🌳: The Breda Giant Medlar Tree grows to a mature height of 10-12 feet, making it suitable for both large orchards and smaller backyard spaces.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

• 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot with slightly acidic, fertile soil. Amend the soil with compost to enhance fertility.
• 2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball to provide enough space for root expansion.
• 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance
