Planting & Care

Produces an abundant yield of large, pear-shaped fruits with a strong, sweet aroma.
A tree with year-round interest, from its large, soft pink spring blossoms to its uniquely twisted branches.
Self-fertile, so a pollination partner is not required for a good crop.
Fruits ripen to a beautiful golden-yellow and can be harvested from early October.
The fruit stores exceptionally well for up to three months in a cool, dark place.
Perfect for a sheltered spot in milder climates, thriving against a south-facing wall.
A proud recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and vigorous growth.

Planting: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading. Water in thoroughly when planting.
Watering: As a container-grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, water only when required in dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
Pruning: Trees are pruned before shipping to encourage a better shape. Quince A rootstock trees can be trained to a smaller size by pruning or by restricting the roots in a smaller pot.
Harvesting & Storing: You may see your first quince after the first year but expect substantial crops after another 2-3 years. Harvest from early October. Fruits can be stored for up to three months on shallow trays in a cool, dry, and dark place. Allow six weeks for the fruits to mature in storage before use.
