Description
This stamp highlights the medlar (Eryobotrya japonica), locally called “Boussaa”. A spring fruit par excellence, the medlar is particularly associated with the Raf Raf region and the Tunisian North-East, where its arrival on the markets marks the end of winter. The illustration celebrates the country's arboreal wealth and the mild Mediterranean climate which allows the cultivation of these fleshy, golden fruits, pillars of seasonal consumption and local agricultural biodiversity.
