1. Medlar - Néflier (Mespilus germanica)

Description

NL : Medlars need dry, calcareous soil and prefer to be in the sun. They were reportedly brought to Europe by the Romans from Asia Minor (present-day Turkey). In May - June, large white flowers come to this shrub or small tree. They have a unique sweet smell. The flesh of the medlars softens in autumn after a few light frosts. After a while, the orange fruits become dark brown and sweet. They seem to be rotting: 'As rotten as a medlar'. Eating medlars is a good remedy for abdominal running.

FR : Les néfliers préfèrent un emplacement ensoleillé ainsi que les sols secs et riches en calcaire. C'est en mai-juin que les grandes fleurs blanches apparaissent; elles ont un parfum sucré. Les fruits oranges brunissent et leur saveur devient sucrée. La chair des nèfles devient blette après les premières gelées nocturnes; elles ont l'air pourri. Consommer des fruits plus que mûrs combat efficacement la diarrhée. Ce sont les Romains qui ont introduit en Europe les néfliers d'Asie Mineure (la Turquie actuelle).
