Planting & Care

Produces an abundance of plump, golden-yellow fruits every year.
The unique, aromatic flavour is perfect for making jams and jellies, or for adding a new dimension to apple and pear desserts.
Offers stunning ornamental appeal with a beautiful display of flowers in spring.
Harvest your delicious quinces in September.
Grown on Quince A rootstock, reaching a maximum size of 4m x 4m, ideal for average-sized gardens.
Partially self-fertile, but produces a better crop with a nearby pollination partner.
Delivered in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and promotes a healthier root system.
Trees are expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Quince
Features: Heavy cropper, Heritage, Partially Self-fertile
Harvest Time: September
Planting Time: January to December
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Fully Hardy (Doesn't require any protection from frost)
Soil Type: Happy in most soils. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil but can tolerate clay if drainage is improved.
Tasting Notes: Aromatic and fragrant
Uses: Making jams or jellies
Pollination Group: 3. Will fruit better when pollinated by another Quince tree within a mile radius that flowers at the same time. Trees in pollination group 2, 3, or 4 can pollinate this variety.

Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Has excellent resistance to most problems. Prune to increase airflow to prevent the build-up of bacterial disease. Keep an eye out for rare issues like fire blight or Pear scab.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you only need to water in dry spells going forward. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. From the second year, water only when required. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
