jekahrs said ....... I saw a couple of medlars at the fruit exchange (Dzevera and Norashenik) that were a lot larger than the typical medlars being sold by OGW. I doubt anyone but OSU has these. Any thoughts? I did send a note to OGW telling them about these cultivars so hopefully that will change.
Sweepbjames said replying to jekahrs..... We are going to the US Germplasm Repository at Corvallis tomorrow Tuesday 2/18, to collect pear and other scions for the Fruit Prop fair on 3/15.
We will also be gathering medlar//...
"... medlar ... yada yada yada..."

More on that note; I found this article with a search for the named varieties.
https://www.researchgate.net/p.....TE_MARKERS
Reading of particular note the cluster analysis section on page 50 and the Fig.1 on page 55. (Don't worry, extract starts with page 47
)
So while we might not have the Dzevera Garden, or Norashenik by name, at the Propagation Fair 3/15, you'll most likely find Monstreuse d'Evreinoff, Nottingham; of similar stature and genes as per the article.
