Description
- This popular quince variety is a heavy and reliable cropper with very large, pear-shaped fruits that are yellow in colour when they’re fully ripe. The fruit has a distinctive scent; sweet and strong
- Prefers milder areas of the country and will perform best if sheltered, ideally against a south facing wall
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Harvest from early October
- Max size H4m x W4m – Quince A Rootstock
- Self Fertile – Pollination Group 2
- A tree with great ornamental value – large, soft pink flowers in the spring and dark green curled leaves with distinctive twisted branches
- The fruits can be stored in a cool, dry and dark place on shallow trays for up to three months. Allow the fruits to mature for six weeks before using
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
