Can pigs be fed medlars, and if so do they  need to be left to soften or fed straight from the tree ?

Yes they can and I don't think the pigs will mind at all if they haven't been bletted.  That said, I always introduce a new food in a small quantity and, depending on the age and purpose of the stock, make it a small portion of the daily feed.
