- Planting & Care
- Enjoy the superb, aromatic taste, ideal for making flavourful jellies and jams.
- This RHS Award-winning heritage variety originates from Serbia and produces a stunning spring display of pale pink-white blossoms.
- It thrives in milder UK climates; plant in a sheltered, sunny spot, ideally against a south-facing wall.
- A self-fertile tree, though yields can be improved with a nearby Quince or Pear tree from a similar pollination group.
- Grafted onto a Quince A rootstock, its growth is limited to a manageable size perfect for average gardens.
- Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, healthy shape, ready for planting.
- Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
- Species: Quince
- Features: Heritage, Self-fertile
- Flower Colour: White
- Flowering Period: February, March, April
- Harvest Period: October, November
- Tasting Notes: Aromatic and fragrant
- Uses: Making jams or jellies
- Position: Full sun
- Hardiness: Fully Hardy, does not require frost protection
- Soil Type: Happy in most soils; prefers fertile, well-draining soil but can tolerate clay if drainage is improved.
- Eventual Spread: 4m
- Pollination Group: 4
- Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance. Prune to increase airflow and prevent bacterial disease.
- Planting Time: Can be planted all year round.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: This tree does not require feeding.
- Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
- Pollination Explained: This variety is self-fertile and will produce fruit on its own. However, yields can be increased by planting another Quince or a Pear tree from the same or an adjacent pollination group (e.g., group 3, 4, or 5) within a mile radius.
