Jam

Unbletted medlars make a delicious jam. Recipes are available online and one jam manufacturer sells medlar jam commerciallyVernon White ^{. . . Talk} 09:34, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Is that different from the medlar cheese already described on the page? Sminthopsis84 (talk) 20:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

In Literature

The excerpt from Chaucer is difficult to understand for most modern readers... I think there should be a translation from the Middle English to Modern English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.153.114.7 (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Shakespeare

In Romeo and Juliet, doesn't Mercutio mention medlars when talking to Romeo? York12321 (talk) 00:00, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Hawthorn tree image here not relevant and possibly confusing

The photo of a Hawthorn tree is not directly relevant to the subject of this Wikipedia article. It does not show a grafted medlar onto hawthorn rootstock as caption would suggest. It should probably be removed from this article because of the confusion it may cause in identifying a medlar tree. Tcejorpicnivad (talk) 08:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Merge articles Mespilus and Mespilus germanica

I suggest merging articles Mespilus and Mespilus germanica as Mespilus germanica is the only species in the genus. Mespilus canescens is a hybrid and not a separate species.
