UK And Other Dopers--Medlars.

[Bosda_Di_Chi_of_Tricor]

William Shakespeare writes of a fruit called the Medlar, likely native to the British Isles.

I know nothing of it, except that it seems to over-ripen too fast.

What can you tell me of it?

Is it good?
Is it available in North America?

:dubious:

Are there any Dopers with person experience of this fruit?
