Are medlars and quince worth growing? I was thinking about planting one of each this spring. I don’t eat jelly or preserves.

I would say no then, medlar tastes really nice but you need to blet it and its a faff to eat with seeds etc unless you make it into something. Quince is less faff to eat but is less tasty. If you want something really tasty that delicious straight from the plant its a Chilean guava. However I am guessing you might not be able to grow them, even here they unfortunately died from freak dry cold event with no snow after surviving far colder.
