Flavor Queen and Flavour king varieties. I grow both at home and at the orchard.
More profound to me are the European gage plums and esp the lovely yellow mirabelles. I also planted medlars and can’t seem to find anyone interested. Medlar Jam is sublime.
- Stratoscope 6y agoOh my. Can I visit your orchard before we both ascend to the Heaviside layer?
- nkurz 6y ago> I also planted medlars and can’t seem to find anyone interested. I made a medlar sorbet once, which was good but not great. But the single best scientific paper I have ever read is about the medlar. I happened across it on the new periodicals table at my college library, and had never seen anything like it. After reading it, I spent a long time thinking it might be satire, and that the fruit didn't actually exist. It was only years later that I finally had one. Summary and details of the paper here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/4255177 https://www.jstor.org/stable/4255177. Send me email if you'd like a copy and can't find access online.
