Windfall medlars - feasible to try and grow?

Options
As above please.

Picked up a few last week. Is there any chance of them growing?

If so, how? What medium? In dark or light? All info. / thoughts very welcome.

Seems a pity not to try. There's plenty of help re: trees, but not how to start one.

Many thanks for any input.

    Trees are usually grafted, on quince, I believe.

    I tried seed once and it didn't happen, but that's not to say it wouldn't for you.

    Windfalls won't be fully ripe yet....well, mine aren't.
