Strange Fruit?

A forgotten medieval fruit with a vulgar name?

"Medlar" and "open-arse" can be used to refer to both
 the fruit and the shrub-like tree on which it's grown?

I couldn't help thinking that this tree kind of does sum up the FUTURE when we look behind us to the recent past?-)

And as far as metaphors go this tree could be considered "poetry in motion" I guess?-)

Now what if these lemons were medlars instead?-)

You could tell dad what you really think of him:-)

There's probably a whole new world of possibility and industry with this fruit, if we keep and open, ah ... mind about it.

I'm sure medlars could be added to
 this recipe without it tasting like ... 

Think of the bumper stickers now, "Medlars Happens" or "When life gives you Medlars, make Sticky Date Pudding":-)

And with all of that spare toilet paper stockpiled from recent Covid 19 panic buying, what better trees could you have growing in your front yard for a good old fashioned TPing?
