Mespilus is a genus known for its resilience and deciduous nature, thriving in temperate climates. Basic care needs require well-drained, fertile soil, and full sun to partial shade exposure. Watering should be moderate, ensuring the soil maintains moisture without waterlogging. Common challenges for mespilus include fire blight, scab, and canker. Seasonal considerations involve protecting the blossoms from late spring frosts, and the implementation of mulching and pruning in the dormant season.
