In Literature
The excerpt from Chaucer is difficult to understand for most modern readers... I think there should be a translation from the Middle English to Modern English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.153.114.7 (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Shakespeare
In Romeo and Juliet, doesn't Mercutio mention medlars when talking to Romeo? York12321 (talk) 00:00, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Hawthorn tree image here not relevant and possibly confusing
The photo of a Hawthorn tree is not directly relevant to the subject of this Wikipedia article. It does not show a grafted medlar onto hawthorn rootstock as caption would suggest. It should probably be removed from this article because of the confusion it may cause in identifying a medlar tree. Tcejorpicnivad (talk) 08:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Merge articles Mespilus and Mespilus germanica
I suggest merging articles Mespilus and Mespilus germanica as Mespilus germanica is the only species in the genus. Mespilus canescens is a hybrid and not a separate species.
