Mushmula germanic

A mushmula or cup tree is a plant that, according to scientific classification, is assigned to the Pink family. According to scientific research, there are 5 main species of the mushmul plant in nature. Moreover, the fruits of only two species of the plant can be eaten - Mushmula germanic or Mespilus germanica, as well as Mushmula Japanese or eribotria.

The Germanic mushmool fruit is nothing more than a deciduous plant that belongs to the Pink family. Despite the original name, the region of Southeast Asia is considered the birthplace of the plant. The Germasnkaya mushmula got its name thanks to the Romans, who brought the plant to the European continent. Mushmul Germanic began to be selected in Southeast Europe since ancient times.

The plant can grow in mild climates. Territories with hot summers and mild warm winters are suitable for growing German mushmula. Currently, the German mushmul can be found in countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, as well as Armenia. In addition, the wild fruit mushmul Germanic grows on the southern coast of Crimea.

It is also noteworthy that the Germanic mushmula can grow in a rather harsh climate in Ukraine. In Algeria, at colonial-type houses in the garden, you can find a German mushmul. The German fruit tree, as a rule, does not exceed 8 meters in height. However, much smaller trees are most often found.

The dark green leaves of the plant are elliptical in shape and do not exceed 4 centimeters in length. The fruits of the Germanic mushmula began to be eaten by the ancient Romans. Moreover, for a fairly long time, the Germanic mushmula was an important fruit plant for all provinces of ancient Rome. In appearance, the fruits of the mushmul fruit Germanic resemble apples, which differ in the red-brown color of the peel.

The taste of the fruits of the German mushmula does not allow the fruit to be consumed fresh. the thing is that the fruits of the German mushmula themselves taste sour and are quite solid. For this reason, the fruits of the Germanic mushmula are used in writing, which have been lying and ripening for some time. In addition, the mushmul, like persimmon, is frozen.

As a result, the mushmula softens and becomes sweet and pleasant to taste. As a result of archaeological excavations, researchers were able to find evidence that German mushmul began to be grown 3, 000 years ago. It is believed that mushmul began to be grown by the first inhabitants of the Caspian regions living in the territory of modern Azerbaijan.

The ancient Greeks began to grow Germanic mushmul for eating the fruits of a tree from about 700 BC. Interest in the German mushmule disappeared only in the 18th century, when European consumers got the opportunity to eat exotic Asian fruits.
