- Produces an abundant annual crop of plump, golden-yellow fruits.
- The unique, aromatic flavour is ideal for making jams and jellies, or for adding a new dimension to apple and pear desserts.
- Offers significant ornamental appeal with a stunning display of flowers in spring.
- Grafted onto a Quince A rootstock to limit the tree's size, making it perfect for average gardens.
- Partially self-fertile, but will produce a heavier crop if a compatible quince tree is planted nearby.
- Dispatched at 18-36 months old, having been expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape.
- Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
- Species: Quince
- Features: Heavy cropper, Heritage, Partially Self-fertile
- Tasting Notes: Aromatic and fragrant
- Uses: Making jams or jellies
- Harvest Time: September
- Pollination: Pollination Group 3. Will fruit better when pollinated by another Quince tree from the same or adjacent pollination group flowering at the same time.
- Position: Full sun
- Soil Type: Happy in most soils, prefers fertile well-draining soil. Can tolerate clay but may need improved drainage.
- Hardiness: Fully Hardy
- Eventual Spread: 4m
- Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. From the second year, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently.
- Feeding: No feeding is required.
- Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve airflow, and prevent disease.
- Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance. Pruning to increase airflow helps prevent bacterial disease. Keep an eye out for rare issues like fire blight or pear scab.
